Samantha Day: Generation Wars!

Which generation is the most insane? Multi Award Winning Comedian, Samantha Day, exposes the particular madnesses of each generation as she explores relationships, money, body image, pronouns and so much more.

Are the stereotypes about boomers and millennials true? And why are Gen Z so anxious? This show will reveal all - and make you laugh as the audience competes to prove that they are in the generation which is "most right about everything"!

It's stand - up but within a gameshow format - it was a hit in Edinburgh, and at the Buxton Fringe.

"Just brilliant", Arthur Smith

Here are the audience reviews:

Ollie This is one of the best shows you’ll ever see during the fringe season. I highly recommend it.

Helen and Rob Another great show from Samantha Day. We saw her for the first time at the Fringe last year and so our expectations were high! She did not disappoint.

Rona Turned up not knowing what to expect, well what can I say.. it was great, so funny . Samantha got the whole audience involved and everyone was laughing the whole way through.

Was a great end to my day at the Fringe.

Tony Went into this performance after seeing show in same venue and was glad we did

Very clever format and brilliantly presented by Samantha Day.

Great fun and really gets the audience involved

Lisa The most laughs I've had at the fringe and the rest of the audience were enjoying it too. Star prize goes to Samantha Day for creating great fun, lots of laughs, fab competition. Loved the concept and the props. Going with someone you know, especially if they're a partner or relation makes it even funnier.

Katie Laughed so much, I nearly wet myself ( I'm a Gen X woman, so should have been prepared!)

Samantha had the audience participating and enjoying the show from the first line to the last - the competition between the generations was fierce, but friendly.

What a great show! Highly recommended.

Darren What a show! Consistently on theme, hilarious mix of observation comedy and audience interaction makes it not just a great show but different every night depending on who is in. A very clever set up, weaving a gameshow format with a polished routine, definitely one to catch. Go Team Gen X!

David What a brilliant night - Samantha was constantly hilarious with her routine and working with the audience. Her observations on the generations got perfect reactions from the crowd and the atmosphere fed on itself. Just great fun.

Fiona Great fun. Irreverent but affectionate reflections on the inconsistencies and prejudices of the different generations. Highly recommended.

Dom Absolutely brilliant show, I did not stop laughing for the entire duration. My fiends and I still quote the jokes from the show. A must see for comedy lovers!

Martin Samantha is very engaging and her humour is infectious. Clever “game” scenario between the ages. From baby boomers to Millennials. Non stop fun and gags. We all loved the show. Recommend 5 stars.

David Just brilliant. Thought provoking, irreverent and very. very funny. Sam has captured the absurdities of our generational divides in a warm hearted but caustic way. Highly recommended.

Salma Great show! Super funny! Energy is great, and super entertaining! Worth going to see

Steve A brilliantly funny insightful review based upon the generations of baby boomers generation X millenniums and whatever the other ones are. A great act thoroughly recommended.
