Whole Lotta Comedy

After a sold-out, rave-reviewed tour last year, Esther is back - this time embracing the sheer joy of having absolutely no dignity.

She’s tried elegance. She’s aimed for sophistication. But somehow, chaos always wins. Because really — how do you keep your poise when you’re juggling kids, aging parents, and the crushing weight of unmet expectations?

Following the success of her last show, Hell Hath No Fury, Esther is done pretending. Labeled an “angry woman”? Fine. She’ll own it. Now, she’s leaning in even further — into the mess, the mayhem, and the gloriously undignified truth of it all.

From failed attempts at being sexy, sudden hearing loss, and awkward encounters with dodgy drug dealers, to the brutal realities of a waxing session gone sideways — nothing’s off limits.

Because when there’s war in the world and family back in Lebanon, there are bigger things to worry about than being a “slagbomb”.

sharply written and endlessly repeatable lines that'll always keep a comic in work and an audience richly entertained' (The Guardian)

'It's just a matter of time before Julian Deane gets a boost up the comedy rankings... His trick is to make you think you're watching standard stand-up fare, then twisting expectations with sharp, original punchlines' (The Independent).
