WOMAN OF THE YEAR Comes to Adelaide Fringe

Woman of the Year which will be performed at the Adelaide Fringe. This show sold out an entire run at the Edinburgh Fringe last year and is making its Australian debut in Adelaide.

The show follows four characters each vying for the title of Woman of the Year, at the end of the show the audience vote for their winner.

Woman of the Year has been developed with the BBC's James Cary and as part of the Soho Theatre Edinburgh Lab.

Woman of the Year is the debut character comedy show written and performed by British rising star Anna Nicholson.

Award-winning BBC sitcom writer James Cary (Miranda, My Family) provided creative development and script oversight for the show. Nicholson was also selected to develop her show as part of the Soho Theatre Young Company, receiving mentorship and guidance from Soho Theatre artists and other leading industry professionals.

Through a combination of monologue, sketch and song Nicholson introduces the audience to four characters who are all competing to win the Woman of the Year award.

The characters include: Denise, a rather unhinged bra saleswoman; Bianca, an Instagram star offering millennial advice; Reverend Ruth, a vicar with a rival; and Shirley, an elderly woman with a mischievous nature.

At the end of the show the audience vote for their favourite character. This show therefore has a different ending every day depending on which character wins.

Nicholson says: 'I aim to make comedy that unites an audience over a shared experience and celebrates both the good bits and the flaws that make us human. I want to make shows full of heart and warmth, and that are above all, funny.'
