Bea Barbeau-Scurla -- HOUSE

Comedy • Stand-up
New South Wales • World Premiere

Bea’s childhood home had some rocky foundations. Now, so does she. Although created almost ten years apart, she feels connected to her childhood home through her parents’ shoddy craftsmanship. As her parents prepare to sell the home and amid recovering from a depression “whoopsie”, Bea moved back in to help and pack up. Considering some extensive hoarding, thirty-five years of memories and walls that you would want to shut up if they could speak; packing the house up was no easy task. Bea takes you through the journey of having to unbox - and confront - your own bizarre childhood. Unpack it all in a hilarious comedy show about an upbringing bringing you down.
