Fresh off the heels of a sold out London run at the Vault Festival CRY ME A LIVER is Lucie Pohl's new soul-twerking Big Apple character comedy joyride and a love letter to the greatest city on earth. Meet a fame obsessed Sia wannabe, a philosophising Brooklyn bum, Putin's sperm and many more of the usual bums, bastards and bimbos that we all know and love. "It's acting. It's comedy. It's brilliant." (The Mirror).
