Expect a relentless stream of hilarity as Ria explores the eternal battle of the sexes\, the delight in throwing life up in the air after years of following the rules\, and the art of radical indifference. Much loved in the industry\, this multi-award winner commands the stage with a whirlwind of energy and leaves audiences breathless with laughter.\n“Fearless\, provocative and very funny… wonderfully on-the-edge stuff… There isn’t a comedy venue in the country that shouldn’t be fighting for her” The Scotsman
