Out of Body Experience - A plain white background with a young woman floating upright in the centre. Her feet are floating in the air and her hair bounces around her face thanks to gravity. She has tanned Caucasian skin, brown curled hair that goes to shoulders, and is wearing an orange crewneck jumper, a plain black skirt, black socks and black running shoes. Her facial expression is blank and she looks directly into the camera with a neutral stare.

Out of Body Experience

Comedy • Stand-up
Victoria • World Premiere

What’s the point? How do lava lamps do that? And is anyone really having a good time? Writer/comedian Ashley Apap is asking these and many other ridiculous questions in her first hour of pure standup comedy. Through her cheekily aggressive crowd work and boundary breaking use of space, Ashley invites audiences to go where society tells us we shouldn’t. Silly, honest, at times explosive - this multifaceted comedian will leave no existential stone unturned in this exciting new show.

"Great comic potential & a voice not often heard." - The Age

"Apap is unapologetically & unashamedly brilliant . . . Wildly hilarious, raw & surprisingly cathartic." Weekend Notes

"Such a charismatic & entrancing manner that she had the audience immediately engaged." Hugging Comedians
