Don’t Quit Your Day Job
21st & 22nd August 3pm £6.50
Elly Shaw and Caroline McEvoy present Don’t Quit Your Day Job.
Elly spent the last year at a prestigious performing arts school in France. Caroline spent the last year working from home on her sofa.
Elly spent the last year reading and reciting Shakespeare. Caroline spent the last year reading the back of a takeaway menu.
Elly spent the last year learning how to be a clown. Caroline spent the last year worrying she’s forgotten how to be one.
Elly and Caroline are stand-up comedians who before lockdown were regular performers at venues across London and other parts of the UK. After the pandemic hit, Elly quit her day job and ran away to clown school at Ecole Philippe Gaulier. Meanwhile, Caroline set up camp in her living room.
Don’t Quit Your Day Job is a split bill show featuring two comedians. It’s a fun and uplifting look at the ways both Elly and Caroline’s lives have changed. One spent the last year being a clown, the other spent the last year in pyjamas. Can you spot the difference?
