Laughed So Hard I Cried

I had the privilege of being able to watch this show and can I just say - WOW. It’s amazing to see Lucy bring this show to Vancouver because it was such a good experience that will leave you in stitches from laughing. The premise alone of an anonymous meeting for people that get the ick is fantastic given that most people these days get the ick more than they would like to admit, it’s a bit of an issue. Lucy tackles this by going into each of the 7 stages of the ick whilst relating it back to her current romantic partner. Oh and did I forget to mention that this is a one woman show, yes one woman on stage for the whole show. And not once did I ever feel like the pacing dragged or I was bored, the whole show was captivating from start to finish! There were so many moments I could not hold in my laughter and there was definitely a moment where I REALLY got the ick (spoilers sorry) in the best way. I had a visceral reaction that left me feeling shocked … and that is just a testament to how good the writing is. The story beats are great throughout, the humour is on point, and the song numbers were delightful to listen to. Lucy really does have the voice of an angel. I would recommend this to anyone who is going to the Fringe Festival to check this out. You will have an awesome time and learn a little bit more about the ick - and how not to get it.
