8pm Michelle Shaughnessy. Too Late, Baby (Work in Progress)
A show for anyone who thinks it's too late to achieve their dreams...because it probably is
This is an admission of 'holy sh*t. I think I've missed the boat'. Michelle is not close to reaching her goals. Instead of whining about it, she is doing what she does best – turning it into comedy.
'Charismatic and relatable... comedy gold' **** (Entertainment-Now.com).
'Star Quality' (List).
'I can't for the life of me understand why she's not a household name!' (Ed Byrne).
9.15pm Chin Wang Work in Progress
A brand new work-in-progress show by award-winning comedian Chin Wang.
Chin Wang is very scared of babies and unexpected pregnancies.
When she was little, she asked her mother where she came from, and her mother said: "I found you outside on the street, in the dumpster.", which later on she found out that it was a lie, and actually it was the most common lie to Chinese kids. (though at the time she deeply believed it, unfortunately.)
This work-in-progress comedy hour tries to deconstruct some deep, philosophical topics, such as feminism in Southeast Asia, the Chinese population problem, sex education, the meaning of family, and also the meaning of Chin Wang''s life.’
Funny, charming, and hilariously honest, Chin is fast becoming one of the most exciting new acts to see'' The Comedy Store. 'She has a charming air of being cheerfully baffled by it all,.. evokes some cartoonishly amusing mental images' Chortle
As seen on BBC 3, as heard on BBC Radio.
