After a much-loved appearance on hit TV show _x0018_ Spicks & Specks_x0019_ with Ross Noble, starring opposite Ricky Gervais and Kate Winslet in Emmy-Award-Winning _x0018_ Extras_x0019_ and a run of shows in New York, Francesca returns to Adelaide after a highly successful debut 2010 Fringe where she was Commended for Best Comedian at the Adelaide Fringe Awards! This is award-winning comedy from the heart with extra bite - funny, philosophical and unique, guaranteed to challenge and entertain. Francesca takes an honest, personal and hilarious look at our obsession with the word _x0018_ normal_x0019_ _x0013_ how we define it, how most of us crave to be it, why so many crazy things in the world are called it and all the bloody politics which come with it. As a _x0018_ wobbly_x0019_ comedian, it is one label which has haunted Francesca for most of her life... until she realised that she_x0019_ d never met a _x0018_ normal_x0019_ person before. Have you? The huge popularity of injecting stuff into your face to hide wrinkles, celebrity diets of eating nothing but... erm, air, and vomiting into toilets after stuffing your face with Big Macs suggests that, no matter what body you_x0019_ re born into, most of us are desperate to be seen as _x0018_ normal_x0019_ . Fascinated by the power that a six- letter word has over so many people, Francesca shares her own life-changing journey of self-discovery, falling in love... with an arsehole, getting over that arsehole, ripping up crappy labels and making up new ones, and trying to answer the big questions facing us all (wobbly or not...) like where happiness lies, what the meaning of life is... and why reading celebrity magazines is, well, like eating poo. This is a show to make you laugh, and go home feeling better about being alive and about all those bits you_x0019_ ve never liked about yourself. After all, what_x0019_ s so great about being _x0018_ normal_x0019_ anyway?
