A Slight Exaggeration

If the foundation of sanity is knowing fact from fiction, was it the outside world or her own brain that first started feeling a bit shaky?

Join emerging writer and performer Poppy Mee as she attempts to punchline her way through a very dark night of the soul.

Reviews & Fringefeed Reacts
I was pleasantly surprised by just how clever things got. Poppy Mee ... has a natural flair for storytelling. She’s also really funny. - Anna Jeavons, mindshare
Poppy is funnier than many stand-up comics mining the same field. - Cathy Tune, The Clothesline
An impressive monologue that one could almost call a... Touchdown! - Josh van't Padje, Upside Adelaide
Mee’s physicality is excellent ... she draws us in, finishing on a high note of audience comradery and enthusiasm. - Helen Karakulak, Adelaide Theatre Guide
She’s courageous with her bold eye contact, touching as she engages a single audience member, and she’s disarmingly hilarious. - Mark Wickett, Stage Whispers
