Jane Mumford - Life!

Description

Ah, youth! Wouldn't we all like to be 16 years old again? No, not everyone. Jane Mumford would rather not. As a child, the world seemed magical to her, but as soon as she left elementary school, her world consisted only of tedious things like: wanting to be cool, having to belong, trying to keep up, finding true love... and eventually, you have to achieve something before you die! So much to do!! Overwhelmed, she spent her teenage years withdrawn as a tap-dancing gothic rocker and now wonders if she ever fully outgrew that teenage state? Because all the self-doubt, world-weariness, and overthinking still haunt her today... in the very, very dark shadows of the night. "Dragging your own coffin onto the stage, presenting yourself as an annoying goth teenager, explaining Gene Kelly in words and tap dance - only Jane Mumford does that. Hilarious, friendly British, and unique as a solo performing author in this country." – Viktor Giacobbo Jane Mumford won the Swiss Comedy Award 2025 in the "Solo" category for this second solo program.
