on Thursday 23rd November. The event starts at 20:00pm.
This week, we're thrilled to present master storyteller and standup, Sarah Bennetto, who is bringing her latest Edinburgh hour to the Lazy Dog: All My Life's Mistakes, Catalogued (Volume One). This show was a critical hit and audience favorite, and it would be a huge mistake for you to miss it. You don't make the mistakes. That's not your role here. You just show up, kick back and leave the mistakes to Sarah. You keep making great choices, like buying advance tickets right now.
One dimwit comedian’s every dumb decision, presented in list form. 50 great mistakes guaranteed. A new stand-up show by Melbourne-born, London-based comedian, Sarah Bennetto. As heard on BBC Radio 4, Sarah Bennetto’s Mix-Tape, Glastonbury backstage radio and at the helm of Storytellers' Club.
Joining Sarah is the wonderful Lulu Popplewell (Leicester Square Theatre New Comedian of the Year Finalist 2016, and 2017 So You Think You're Funny? Semi-finalist). Plus, local-girl-done-good, the hard-working and hilarious Louise Leigh! This is an over-packed night of great acts, and advance tickets are strongly encouraged.
Doors at 7:30, show right at 8. Tickets are a fiver on the door, or £4 in advance at the bar, or online (no fees at the bar, though...just saying).
The show is hosted by Tony C, and will be followed by a free Open Mic, which is a bit of an after-meal mint that will take us up to last orders.
★★★★The Skinny
"In sharing her litany of mistakes, Bennetto covers huge, emotive topics with the lightest of touch and a lightning-fast wit, rattling through stories and quips so quickly that they don't have the opportunity to land too heavily. She’s also in perfect command of the pacing, so when she does want to touch hearts as well as minds… it keeps the audience spellbound.”
★★★★One4Revew
"With much glee, delight, and wonderfully evocative imagery, Sarah is an excellent performer, frank and genuine, telling relatable stories which are fun and funny. The last mistake is totally unexpected and unheralded – and all the more powerful for being so.”
★★★★½ The Advertiser newspaper, Adelaide
“Self-depreciating, dark, honest and genuinely funny. One of the most enjoyable and original shows I’ve seen this year. It had me laughing out loud more times than I could count. A solid hours of laughs, it culminates in a truly epic finale.”
★★★★Fest magazine, Edinburgh
“A sophisticated mix of standup and character comedy, Bennetto succeeds in harnessing the full power of an instinctive comedic mind.”
★★★★Rip It Up magazine, Adelaide
“Sarah Bennetto brings a fantastically original concept to the Producers’ Warehouse. She is bright, funny and fast on her feet, with a wonderful collection of silly characters. This show is a vivid package of silly, clever and sometimes self-deprecating humour that stands out amongst the mass.”
★★★★The Age, Melbourne
“Bennetto delivers effervescent, confident and well-structured stand-up. Her tales of outrageous fortune are suffused with urbanity and wisdom, and buoyed by a lightly rendered sense of nostalgia”
★★★★ThreeWeeks, UK
“Superb. Devastating. Edges towards perfection.”
