Last year Funny Women Awards 2012 finalist and Funny Women Player Lucy Frederick took us on a journey in Pursuit of Cool. It seems that coolness was not to be found though, because now Lucy is back with The Claw of Anxiety! 

Just when you thought it was safe and you hoped you were cool, there comes… ANXIETY CLAW! Join Lucy Frederick for an hour of stand up about the big give-away signs that show you might not be quite as socially able as you had hoped.

Share your socially awkward faux-pas with Lucy at the Leicester Square Theatre on Saturday 28th June.
