This is one of those shows that sum up the art of Performance, with a capital ‘P’.  Sharron is 100% Performer with a capital ‘P’ and a huge stage presence, even in the confines of the Pleasance Above.

Sharron straddles her audience with her big brash Canadian personality – all gold, glitter and glory for one highly entertaining hour.  This is a ‘must see’ show and apologies for reviewing so late in the Fringe, just get along now if you are still up here.  Enjoy some hilarious musical parodies and interaction with the male members of the audience!  It’s all good clean harmless fun and Sharron embraces her talent for music and comedy in this big hug of a showcase.

Catch her on the London leg of her world tour if you miss her here at the Fringe: 31st August 2012 at the Tristan Bates Theatre, 1a Tower Street, London, WC2H 9NP  BOOK HERE and 2nd September 2012 at The Longacre, 1 -3 Long Acre, London, WC2E 9LH  BOOK HERE.

What she talks about: being Canadian and a superstar

Show Details: 3.40pm, Pleasance Courtyard.  BOOK HERE.
