What happens when your perfect world ideal fails to materialise? Angie found her diary from aged 12 and lamented on how her life has turned out pretty differently from the possibility filled pages of her early aspirations. But then these days with social media and online profiles we are constantly inventing myths about ourselves. Join her on a journey of stories, poetry and comedy, Angie reflects on the nature of ambition and failure. Includes new poem, Ode to Aldi.
Angie is supported by Odious Vex her 17 yr old male alter-ego: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xBIe4lwkx6g
Praise for Mythical Creature
“Angie Belcher is just as suited for a comedy night as she is for a poetry event; from the moment Angie takes to the stage every line she delivers is crude, funny and instantly relatable and quite simply fun to watch. She is charming, silly and makes honest and awkward observation. At every point during her set you’re either laughing or catching your breath in preparation for the next fit of giggles.” Tara Pilkington, Apples and Snakes 2015
“Bloody Marvellous” Kate Copstick. “Funny, crude and incredibly charming” Word of Mouth
“The perfect start to the festival...sharp, observational material I could relate to” North East Theatre Guide
