This show is from a previous year's festival

Are you winning at life? Slaying it? Nailing it? Crushing it…? How’s that working out for you?

Stop Trying to be Fantastic charts one human’s failed attempt to ‘win at life’ via a range of adventurous mistakes. It looks at the strategies we use to deal with our suffering; exploring what we owe to each other… and what we owe to ourselves.

From award-winning writer/performer Molly Naylor (Whenever I Get Blown Up I Think Of You, Sky One’s After Hours) comes this lyrical and funny spoken-word show about ambition, altruism and how to be totally average.

“Brave, funny, tough and beautiful writing” The Guardian

“Molly makes me laugh and her poetry makes my heart grow plumper and more confident. I love her words and her honesty” Sara Pascoe

Restoration Levy – £1.50 of the advertised on-sale ticket price goes to Machynlleth Comedy Festival for the continued development and improvement of the event.
