Melbourne Fringe Festival 2016 to Feature Brand-New Sketch Show LE PETIT MERDE

By: Aug. 09, 2016

After a sold out and critically acclaimed Melbourne Comedy Festival season, emerging star Brianna Williams returns with her trademark blend of sketch, improv and audience participation as she searches for the most unattainable state of all: happiness.

Happiness: we spend our lives hunting for it, but why exactly is that little sh*t so damn hard to come by? This is the question that comedian and improviser Brianna Williams hopes to answer in her second solo sketch show - Le Petite Merde. Literally: the little shit.

With almost a decade of performance experience under her belt - from improv comedy to stand-up to musical theatre - Williams has delighted thousands of people in Sydney, Melbourne, New York and even Rottnest Island. She was named as one of Broadsheet's Best Newcomers during the Melbourne Comedy Festival, and can be seen in a number of comedy web-series, such as Insert Coin and The Write Stuff (ABC2). She also infuriates many during the cricket as the "Demand a Commander" lady.

From "The Sexy Dowager" to "The Nicest Cop in Murdertown", at Melbourne Fringe 2016 Williams is opening the cabinet of her confidences, the armoire of her anxieties and the crumbling chateau of her chutzpah, as she tries to work out who truly is Le Petite Merde: the entire world? Or her?

La Petite Merde will run from 14th September- 19th September at 7.00pm at The Butterfly Club, 5 Carson Place, Melbourne. Ticket prices will be between $25-32.and are available at www.thebutterflyclub.com.
