Funny Women are really big fans of BBC London presenter, co-founder of cult club night Duckie, and all round fantastic performer Amy Lamé. So it’s no surprise how excited we are about her new show ‘Unhappy Birthday,’ in which she invites us to an imaginary birthday party, where the guest of honour is Morrissey. But will he turn up? And what does it take to be a fan of the infamously difficult Morrissey? A “Waiting for Godot for the pop generation,” as Amy described to the Guardian earlier this month. We can't wait to see it at Edinburgh!
“Unhappy Birthdaycracks open the cult of celebrity and fandom; flays fat, faith and sexual identity; probes the pains of growing up; and cross examines a curious nostalgia for a time that may never have existed except in the bedroom of our imagination.”
Amy Lamé is performing Unhappy Birthday at various venues nationwide. You can find a full list of dates HERE.
