What's the secret to a FABULOUS life?

For years, Emma Krause thought it was smiling sweetly, appeasing others, meeting demands and doing the "right" thing.   Yeah. That sh*t doesn’t work. 

Secretly, the school teacher and mum wanted to try stand-up comedy, but she never felt

brave or “rock n roll” enough. What would happen when she got on stage and people

saw that long swishing tail she hid so well? What would the school P&C and the Tupperware ladies think?

7 years into comedy, Emma no longer cares. Actually, her scales and horns are out now too. And that feels bloody Fabulous to her.

Do not miss this show!
