Everything is a Lie

Comedy • Cabaret

Victoria • Adelaide Fringe Premiere

What's the secret to having it all? Don’t ask Lauren Edwards because she has no idea. What she does have, however, is a charming wit and cynical attitude.

Making her Adelaide Fringe debut, ‘Everything is a Lie’ is a wildly relatable hour of comedy and original pop music that will have you nodding your head so hard you might sprain a muscle. Lauren is the anti-capitalist girl next door who proves that, even in these uncertain times, existential dread can still be cute.

“A masterpiece of millennial misery!” Stage Whispers.

Presented by: Lauren Edwards
