Slow Loris Productions presents GAP YEAR in The Camden Fringe

“An excellent comedienne of the future” – The Public Reviews

Ever had a year of your life that you wished you never had? You’ve probably repressed it so come laugh at this woman’s instead!

Gap years are the must have experience for most young people who are now travelling the world as a rite of passage. But for the rest of us who don’t get to jump out of planes or plant trees in the rainforest we might unluckily have a year of our life that is just a GAP.

GAP YEAR is an originally written, semi-autobiographical one woman comedy sketch show. Forty five minutes of fast paced, farcical scenarios within an ever changing format and we urge you all to go and see it!

Chloe Ward takes you through her ‘anti-gap year’, from bizarre driving instructors to getting trapped in a sunbed. You’ll root for this underdog from “up north” as she takes on a host of crazy but true stories from her life.

After founding the sketch comedy group Electric Orange Peel which enjoyed great success in a sell-out run, Chloe is now fresh out of The Academy of Live and Recorded Arts and is proud to present her first solo show – GAP YEAR.

Where: The Etcetera Theatre, Above the Oxford Arms, 265 Camden High Street, NW1 7BU.

When:  23-26 August 2012, at  3pm

Book Tickets (£5) at www.camdenfringe.com, call Box Office on 08444 771000 or visit www.gapyearcomedy.com
