Making her Brighton Fringe debut, award-winning vocalist & entertainer Mychelle Colleary brings her Edinburgh Fringe-tested Ambitious Underachiever - a jazz-laced, storytelling cabaret-meets-musical on brain injury, broken systems, and the absurdities of healing in a pharma world.

A genre-bending, self-deprecating head-smash of song and story, featuring original music alongside classics by Sondheim, Strayhorn, and Chaplin. Set to backing tracks, it’s raw, wry, and strangely hopeful.

California-born, New York-schooled, London-seasoned, now a free-roaming narrowboat dweller, Mychelle’s sung everything from jazz & folk-rock to opera & Turkish Sufi music. She’s got serious vocal chops, is accidentally funny on purpose, and refuses to stay in one lane - so she made her own.
