Funny Women are always thrilled to see acts develop, and watching Ladies Live Longer (Funny Women Variety Award 2011) start their Edinburgh preview shows is no exception! The Ladies have gone from strength to strength this year after being shortlisted for Laughing Horse New Act of the Year. What better springboard for their preview show ‘Ladies Live Longer: Ladylike’ at the Canal Café Theatre?

‘Ladylike’ is a window into the world of the winners and losers of life.  The Ladies entertain, gesticulate, satirise, howl and sing.  Half characters, half stand-up, half audience participation, part cultured, yet crass.  (Please note deliberate avoidance of the words women, musical or sketch although it will contain all three.) ((PS that bit didn’t count it was in brackets))

YOU will love them…. However they’re likely to offend the person sitting next to you.

‘Ladies Live Longer: Ladylike’ is on at the Canal Café Theatre 7th-9th June, 7.30pm. Book online HERE or call 020 7289 6054.
