Festa: Burning Duck Comedy Club presents Beth Vyse "As Funny As Cancer"

Beth Vyse is back with an extraordinary look at her battle with Breast Cancer.

‘But then, as comedians go, Beth Vyse doesn’t have much time for the expected.’ THE GUARDIAN

A bodacious and ballsy look at her battle with breast cancer. Hear the tale of her Stoke-on-Trent family; The Waltons on Alcohol, her time with Nelson Mandela, acting and thieving at the Royal Shakespeare Company, settling down with Michael Jackson and finding cancer. Not to mention her producing two football teams from her womb. And all before the age of 30!

"A balance of surreal humour with raw emotion, as she brings her experiences to life" THE GUARDIAN

***** "Funniest thing I've seen on the Fringe" BROADWAY BABY

***** "She is a powerhouse of high energy and emotion from start to finish" BUNBURY

**** "Vyse comes across as an incredibly strong woman, not least because she manages to display her vulnerabilities whilst still maintaining a huge stage presence" THREE WEEKS

**** "She has the verve, the charisma and the honesty to get the job done" CHORTLE

**** "Visionary piece of genre-fusing theatre on surviving cancer" THE STAGE

**** "Vyse has brought her experiences so vividly to life it’s difficult not to wish to hear more." THE SKINNY

"This is a powerful show tackling a life-changing subject and it does it very well." Bruce Dessau, Beyond The Joke
