Melbourne Fringe - IT'S MY FUNERAL AND I'LL THROW GLITTER IF I WANT TO

After a (tiny) mental breakdown, Isobel Marmion has decided to throw her own funeral (fancy dress and lots of glitter) rather than wait for her untimely and obviously impending death from one of the many illnesses she's currently suffering from (last count: 42, including appendicitis and rabies, but NOT hypochondria, thank you very much Dr. Crowther).

"I just like to make sure that everything is perfect. And that includes my funeral." Marmion says. "It's supposed to be the final party and I'm going to put the FUN back in FUNeral or die trying!"

Marmion is a Melbourne based writer and performer, who likes to find the comedy in the awkward and sometimes sad side of life. She's been a regular on the fringe circuit both in Australia and overseas for the past few years, but this is her first full-length solo show.

IMFAITGIIWT (official acronym) is a fast-paced and bracingly intimate look at mental illness and the fear of dying alone, but in like- An uplifting, funny way!
