Do you put your car key
s in the fridge? Do you walk into a room and forget why you went there in t
he first place? Are your arms starting to resemble bat wings? You are not a
lone! Come enjoy a glass of wine or six with this pint sized dynamo and enj
oy a show filled with laughter and just a few tears.
All your favourite songs will be featured, with a wicked twist. The ev
ergreen but, perhaps, dated These Are A Few Of My Favourite Things has been
rebooted to embrace more age-appropriate themes. All about That Base is no
w an ode to make-up and other anti-aging tools, while the classic Memories,
from the musical Cats, is now about……can’t remember. All in all, you can l

lity. Sorry, in advance, for the new laugh lines.
