This Charming Man, Sat 15 July 2023, Kings Arms, Salford, as part of GMFringe
This Charming Man is the second hour of stand up from comedian Sian Davies, winner of the Edinburgh Comedy Award 2022 and Best Debut Show at Leicester Comedy Festival 2020.
“A very funny observational stand-up … imagine a queer Peter Kay with more emotional literacy and a quiff like young Morrissey.” (The Evening Standard)
Funny Woman runner up (2019) and Hilarity Bites best newcomer winner (2018), Sian is a regular on the comedy circuit. She has performed at festivals, theatres, clubs and arts centres across the UK and supported Fern Brady on tour.
“Simultaneously warm and sharp, she’s what Jason Manford would be if he was a Liverpudlian lesbian, with a broad appeal and snappy jokes.” (Chortle)
Where do you go when your role models let you down? Join award-winning comedian and jumped-up pantry boy Sian on a journey through masculinity and gender identity via Salford Lads Club (puncture repair kit not included).
Sian loves men. But she has a toxic relationship with all her male role models.
The men she has admired throughout her life have done nothing but let her down. But why did she idolise them in the first place? And where do we draw the line?
An exploration of masculinity, gender and identity packed full of nostalgic pop culture references and queer joy. Delivered by a self-identifying butch woman who has an unhealthy obsession with The Smiths.
Directed by Elf Lyons and supported by Homotopia.
'Compelling and distinctive.' (Scotsman)
