Few things bring people together in the same way that death does.In her debut solo show, improviser and comedian Fiannah de Rue (The Improv Conspiracy) invitesaudiences to shift uncomfortably in their seats as she talks them through the time her dad died. Don’t laugh, It’s Not Funny.

Death impacts everyone, yet we tip-toe around it, suppressing unexpected giggles and never knowing the right thing to say.

In this whirlwind of sketches and storytelling Fiannah welcomes audiences to giggle along with her at those funny little pearls we find in the dark gloomy oyster of death.Sometimes, it’s funny, and it’s always acceptable to laugh.  

Fiannah de Rue is a regular performer at The Improv Conspiracy Theatre and was widely praised for her stand-out performance in the 2017 Melbourne Fringe Festival with sketch comedy troupe Bess County. In her debut solo show, de Rue promises to deliver more eccentric and delightful characters as well as hilarious and heartfelt true stories from her own experiences with death.
