Lauren Thiel in WHO TOLD DAD?

Comedy • Stand-up
South Australia • Adelaide Fringe Premiere

The inevitable sequel to Lauren Thiel’s 2022 debut solo Fringe show ‘Don’t Tell Dad’, because news that big can’t be kept a secret.

Last year Lauren posed the question ‘where do you draw the line when it comes to sharing the ‘real you’ with your parents?’ Secrets, lies, sexual fluidity and sexual fluids – all were spilled.

This year, she's coming out! Lauren delves into what it’s like dating a non-binary communist sex worker (her dad’s worst nightmare) and overshares all the realities of figuring out you’re bi in your 30s. 

Lauren shows “commendable bravery putting her life openly on display”, but you’ve only got one foot out the closet when those you hold dearest don’t know the truth.
