Performances run 14-15 July.
#That's What She Said is a wildly hysterical, and charming romp that delves into the world of technology and the wonderful, crazy and often puzzling characters that can be found online. It is a combination of music, stand-up comedy, and hilarious skits. From tutorials for how to abstain from social media, stalk your ex or the value of the perfect selfie, Megan Spencer and Luella Holland explore some of the funniest, most awkward moments that social media has caused. You will see situations that remind you of yourself, those you love, and those you wish you'd never met. Probably a good idea to pop a Panado pre-emptively for the pain you will have from laughing.
“That's What She Said” was initially a one-woman show but, you asked for more, and so we are giving you more, literally. Serving up some serious double-trouble, the incredibly talented Megan Spencer joins Luella Holland on stage with an updated and refreshed feed of glorious new characters and some old familiar ones, that return for round two! You most certainly don't have to have seen the previous version to enjoy all that this fun- filled show has to offer.

Luella is a funny, empathetic actress with strong opinions. These infuse into her writing, where she enjoys inviting people to have a little chuckle about the “problems” of the world.
