I Will Survive

What happens when you lose someone you didn’t really like?
I Will Survive is a darkly funny solo show about grief, estrangement, and the complicated experience of losing a parent you didn’t always like. Blending stand-up, storytelling, theatre, and a gloriously overambitious PowerPoint presentation, it takes audiences on a journey through the messier side of mourning.
Part comedy lecture, part confessional, the show explores the emotions we’re often told not to talk about: relief alongside sadness, resentment alongside love, and the awkward reality that grief doesn’t always look the way it does in films.
Funny, thought-provoking, and unexpectedly moving, I Will Survive uses humour to tackle big questions about family, memory, and what it really means to grieve. Perfect for anyone who enjoys smart, accessible theatre that makes you laugh, think, and occasionally wince.
