Join international cabaret artist, Tonya Koenderman in her hilarious comedy cabaret, Growing Old Disgracefully - a light-hearted, frank look at the funny side of ageing. 

Do you put your car keys in the fridge? Do you walk into a room and forget why you went there in the first place?  Are your arms starting to resemble bat wings?  You are not alone! Come enjoy a glass of wine or six with this pint sized dynamo and enjoy a show filled with laughter and just a few tears. 

All your favourite songs will be featured, with a wicked twist. The evergreen 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 now 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 look forward to a side-splitting night of entertainment and fun filled frivolity. Sorry, in advance, for the new laugh lines.
