Character actress Charis King (BBC Radio and BBC iPlayer) is coming to Brighton with her debut character-packed one-woman comedy show ‘Charis King: Wummy’. Wummy is a 31 year old teacher, flat sharing with awful strangers in London. She attempts to break free from her mundane existence by manifesting her dream life as a yummy mummy. After all - “the easiest way to become confident is by gaslighting yourself.”
Expect physical theatre, character comedy and laugh out loud moments of improvisation as Wummy transforms her appearance and becomes a social climber who is “looking for a man in finance, trust fund, 6'5", blue eyes, finance."
“King prods mercilessly at the dark underbelly with great success.” The Stage
"Charis is a true artist… I find myself thinking about her productions years after I’ve seen them. She’s a luminous actress, a brilliant writer and one of the universe’s true magical beings. I would pay to watch her drink a cup of tea let alone perform a show." Sophie Winkleman (Big Suze - Peep Show)
“Charis is a highly skilled, talented performer and writer… the comedy sketches that she wrote and performed on my BBC radio programmes … were built on a bedrock of accurate, real life observations.” Pat Marsh, presenter / producer BBC Radio Kent, BBC Radio Sussex and BBC Radio Surrey.
