Wednesday 19th June – After an incredible debut tour which saw her sell out a Soho Theatre run and an extra London show at Bloomsbury Theatre, Edinburgh Comedy Award nominee Ania Magliano announces a brand new tour with her new show, ‘Forgive Me, Father’, following a month long run at the Edinburgh Festival Fringe. This new tour will include a 12 night run at London’s Soho Theatre, Downstairs, from Monday 14th – Saturday 26th October (19:30) and dates across the UK and Ireland, including Manchester, York, Bristol, Belfast, Dublin, Edinburgh, Glasgow and more.
The award winning and critically acclaimed comic will once again be heading out to delight audiences with tales of her world. You know when you’re trying to wee on a night out and you’re interrupted by a random girl who insists on telling you all of her secrets even though you’ve never met before? This show is that, except she has a microphone. ‘Forgive Me, Father’, will see Ania take an honest and introspective look at her behaviour and all or nothing personality, exploring everything under the sun and leaving no stone unturned – there’s not much Ania will avoid talking about on stage including her obsession with her boyfriend’s ex, her fascination with celeb break-ups and the terrifyingly powerful vibrator she accidentally bought.
