Jane Mumford - Life

Description

Ah, youth! Wouldn't we all like to be 16 again? No, Jane Mumford would prefer not. She has never been interested in romantic "coming-of-age" stories. What could be romantic about a time full of pimples, overwhelm, and pressure to perform?!
In her second solo, Jane Mumford turns to human existence. From absurd challenges we face, to our mortality which we must learn to live with, to the crises of puberty, her dark humor pieces cover it all.
A piece about life and learning to live.
Jane Mumford was crowned the winner (solo) with the Swiss Comedy Award 2026 for "LIFE!"! "Carrying your own coffin onto the stage, portraying yourself as a nerve-wracking goth teenager, explaining Gene Kelly in words and steps — only Jane Mumford can do that. Hilarious, friendly British, and uniquely solo-performing author in this country." Viktor Giaccobo Performance time: 90 min Director: Nicole Knuth
Dramaturgical consultation: Manuel Gübeli
