Description

Do you ever wish you were in the room when magic happens? In the room for when Beethoven wrote his symphonies. when Shakespeare wrote his classics, When Cher sings anything. Well now is your chance (kinda). 

I'm Luisa, I'm a comedian in the U.K who is fleeing her politically bankrupt country for the bright lights of America. The land of Dreams. I needed a place where I could meet lapsed catholics, who would enjoy the premise of a musical from a woman who's never written one and experiment in a political climate which is polarizing but closer in location proximity to Lin Manuel and Whoopi Goldberg. That's you Texas! Brace yourself for my female Book of Mormon. I can’t sing or play music. But I did grow up on Sister Act 1 and 2 to know a hit when I see one. This is a rough and ready idea, a pitch for a musical, and you can help me develop it! It’s all about Mary Magdalene. An epic one-woman experiment.

Luisa Omielan is a BAFTA breakthrough comedian from the U.K who was invited to perform as part of SXSW Festival. She loved it so much, she is coming back for the month of September. Her one woman shows have been filling venues at Edinburgh Fringe for over a decade. She was credited as 'Creating her own genre of comedy' ANd writing the 'stand up hit of the decade' for her debut show What Would Beyonce Do?! You can't find her on Netflix, you can find her in a basement in a LGBTQ freindly theatre in Austin. Like the moon, she is better to capture, live in real life, rather than lookin at your phone. Come play

‘She should be a household name’ **** (Evening Standard)

 

‘She wrote the stand-up hit of the decade’ (Guardian)

 

‘A trailblazer’ (Scotsman)

"Luisa is a force of nature, she’s the kind of spirit you can't ignore." – The Times. "An empowering voice in comedy, delivering laughs that are raw and real." – The Scotsman.
"She’s created something utterly unique – comedy that speaks to women on a deeply personal level." – The List.
