A "virtual hug" for Shappi Khorsandi who tickled the funny bones of an audience in Ivybridge last night. Shappi was honest, touching, quick and genuinely hilarious. Her no nonsense show was conversational and we all felt part of her performance. She talked about life, love, children, friendships, work and sex amongst a number of other topics- each of with dealt with in a down-to-earth and cleverly witty manner. I would definitely go and see her again.
She has plenty to say and she says it with potency and razor-sharp humour. It was a thoroughly enjoyable evening during which the audience came to feel personally connected to Shappi, her personal journey and the people who have influenced her road less travelled.
Alongside her humour and her 'baby-brain', Shappi left the audience feeling inspired to be better people, to stand up for the people we love and the ideas we believe in. I found it particularly poignant and honest. I absolutely loved it.
This was a superb show and I sincerely hope that Shappi returns to the Plymouth area in the near future. Massive congratulations to her on a fluid, droll and rib-tickling show. Down with the trollers- this woman has serious girl power.
