Amazing Adventures of Her Majesty at 90+
Affectionate musical comedy on the world’s longest-serving monarch, now sadly bereft of her consort of 73 years. This is the story of a thoroughly modern, fully empowered female role model. She is a woman heading up a country, after all. This powerful, colourful lady head-of-state finally reveals her “all” to her people - her undying love for her dogs, the men in her life, her single-handed success at forging peace processes, her secret passion for motorbikes, coming out at 95 as a song-and-dance gal. Join the singing, dancing Queen for tea, cake and a riotous ride into hitherto unseen aspects of her life. With audience participation, SingalongaLiz and quiz. Don't miss the regal, older lady’s answer to Hannah Gadsby!

Teacher/translator, made redundant at 50. Despite a lifetime's experience, was unable to repair tattered career or save for the elusive pension Josh Frydenberg might advise. 20 years on am telling jokes and singing for my supper!
