Description
Terrible Fish is a one-woman show about the gut punch of mid-life. Through a mix of stand-up, spoken word, social commentary, and original song, award-winning writer and performer, Caitlin Murphy, tackles topics like female rage, ambivalent motherhood, domestic ennui, beauty standards, and, of course, the dreaded dating apps. Performed to acclaim in Toronto and Montreal, this deep dive into mid-life is feisty, unflinching, and not to be missed.
“I have seen many solo shows in my time... I can honestly say I’ve never laughed harder.”
-Tracey Erin Smith, author of Flying SOULO
