Anna Morris, 2016 Funny Women Awards Best Show winner, presents her award-winning, international sell-out wedding comedy on 20th May at the Underbelly Festival, Southbank!

Britain’s Biggest Bridezilla is getting married to Conservative Politician Simon Hamilton this summer. To ensure it’s the BEST day of her life, she’s had 99 wedding rehearsals all over the world so far, but NONE of them have been good enough. This is her last chance to get it right…but she needs YOUR help, so you are invited to the 100th and final wedding rehearsal of viral YouTube sensation Georgina Francis.

But don’t think you can just sit pretty in the audience, no no no, guests must play key roles, help pick music, write vows, shout objections and help Georgina make absolute SURE this wedding will be the best yet. Nothing will get in the way of her perfect day.
