I wanted to do something a little different. Not just celebrate it, but share it.Come and get a dose of one of the highest energy performers on stage Simon Hughes. Hughes sheds light on dark subject matter with charm, hilarious stories that will leave you crying with laughter.This is an unofficial MICF show that blends comedy, real life lessons, and a bit of everything in between.There will be laughs, there will be honest moments, and there will be time for questions. Whether you are curious, on your own journey, or just want to be part of a good night with good people, you are welcome.We will celebrate the milestone, reflect on some of the lessons along the way, and hopefully you will walk away with a few things that stick.I am also celebrating completing my Master of Counselling, and with plans to head to the USA soon, this might be one of the last chances to catch me in a solo show like this for a while.So come down, have some fun, and be part of something real.Age:15+ (under 18s must attend with a parent or guardian)Reviews'The horrific, the hilarious and the hilariously horrific.'
