Under the Lamp Post

Step into the darkly comic world of Under The Lamp Post, a captivating storytelling show for grown-ups from the award-winning Ilaria Passeri. Prepare for a unique journey sparked by a gift bag of ashes and fuelled by the eccentricity of a unique family. Ilaria masterfully blends poignant reflection with sharp wit, finding humour in unexpected places.

Imagine navigating grief with puppets, a particular kind of pickled onion, and the sort of inappropriate fancy dress that becomes a cherished and weirdly unforgettable memory.

There will be sad tears, and tears of laughter.

Produced by sitcom veteran Michel Jacob, his third show with Ilaria, Under The Lamp Post promises an evening of exceptional storytelling from an award-winning talent (Best Spoken Word, Manchester Fringe). Explore life, death, and the beautifully absurd in-between.
