Lucy Best Unbelievable
Most people have an unbelievable, fantastical story from their life—the kind that makes others question if that really, truly, happened. Thanks to an unconventional life, Lucy Best has collected more than most.
In her brand new intimate one-woman storytelling show, Lucy unpacks a treasure trove of real-life tales that are often hard to believe. From near death experiences, to brushes with fame, Lucy will share deeply personal true stories to take you on a rollercoaster ride through the embarrassing, the confronting, and the sometimes hilarious moments that make up the rich tapestry of her life.
Expect clowning, impressions, and plenty of laughs.
"Resolutely unapologetic or regretful... consistently funny" Jim Schembri
★★★★ "Tastefully outrageous" Arts Hub
Patrons are welcome to stim, fidget, move around, exit and enter the show as they need. Low level house lighting is on throughout the show.
