Charmian Hughes

What would happen if you met the Young You? Have you turned into the person you wanted to be?

Fresh from her heroic partial-world tour, 61 year old London comedian Charmian helps you find answers in a comedy trip where stand-up meets time travel, as she encounters earlier versions of herself and faces awkward questions- ‘What happened to my dreams?’ and ‘What are you wearing?’

Imagine meeting your younger selves- how you’d give them advice, warn them, encourage them, comfort them, but more than anything, impress them with how you’ve turned out… so cool.

But what if they bit back, if your idea of cool is their idea of hell and the big question turns out to be: How did we turn into the people we never intended?

The heart of the show is when Charmian encounters her younger selves at crucial times in her life- at 10, when you have all the dreams; at 14, when your ideas about yourself start slamming into reality; and 23, the threshold of adulthood where everyone seems to know what they are doing except you.
