22nd September – Following a critically acclaimed Edinburgh Festival Fringe debut, which impressively sold out in week 1 of the month-long festival and already selling out her upcoming 6 night October Soho Theatre run, comedian and writer Ania Magliano (Amelia Dimoldenberg’s Chicken Shop Date, ITV2’s The Stand Up Sketch Show, Dave’s The Comedy Guide to Life) announces an extra London show at Leicester Square Theatre on Friday 11th November. Combining storytelling, snappy observations, silliness and some surreal tangents she delves into her background as a half Polish, half Italian bisexual 24-year-old, who has spent her whole life in England. Touching on themes of family and her sexuality, she navigates cat buying, all girls schools, and the pressure she feels to be an interesting and exciting member of Gen Z.
Tickets will be on sale at 10:00am, Friday 23rd September
