What if all your dreams come true and you’ve still got the hump?

Laura Smyth has had a meteoric rise in comedy! Her debut tour ‘Living My Best Life’ sold out up and down the country; she has supported Jack Whitehall, Michelle de Swarte, Alan Davies, and Jason Manford and appeared on multiple panel shows, QI, Would I Lie To You, 8 out of 10 Cats Does Countdown and Live at The Apollo TWICE! She’s even beaten cancer; she’s done all the alternative healing shit you could shake a stick at – and she still thinks everyone’s a d**khead. It can’t just be her, can it?

Like her last tour, Laura will cover all of her everyday ever-changing life with truth, warmth, and hilarity. Maybe she needs more sleep or maybe she was just born aggy.
