Getting Out of Fairyland
by Sabrina Georgecomedy, spoken-word-and-live-literature
An exploration of the experience of debt and those prone to it, with humorous character sketches, candid personal experiences and advice.
about the production
Sabrina George, comedian behind the celebrated Fringe shows Crime, Comedy & Me, lived a globetrotting life of bad decisions and serial debt, until a chance encounter with a straight-talking wise woman opened her eyes to the fairytale she had been telling herself. As a debt advisor, she came into contact with a wide range of characters, with common threads running through their stories, and identified the archetypal fantasies they were all telling themselves. She helped them escape Fairyland, and now she’s coming to help you too.

“Impossibly likeable: a warm, nonchalant conversationalist clearly at home with an audience”
“Sabrina George has a warm stage delivery pitched somewhere between Natalie Haynes and Jo Brand. She’s had all the right experiences and possesses a rich fund of anecdotes.”
