Francesca Martinez Visits Liverpool and St Helens As Part Of DaDaFest International 2018 ImageComedy fans will not want to miss 'wobbly' comedian Francesca Martinez when she comes to Liverpool's Unity Theatre and Chester Lane Library in St Helens later this month.

The Edinburgh Fringe Media Network Award winner brings her hit stand up show What The **** Is Normal as part of this year's DaDaFest International 2018.

In its Merseyside premiere, the show will visit Unity Theatre on Friday 23 November and Chester Lane Library, St Helens on Saturday 24 November.

What happens when you're branded 'abnormal', in a world obsessed with normality? This show is Francesca's defiant, insightful and fascinating answer.

Intrigued by the power that a six-letter word has over so many people, she shares her own life-changing journey of growing up as 'abnormal'. This show is for anyone who's ever struggled to fit in, felt 'different' or wondered what the **** normal means.

She has had success around the globe and toured internationally with sell-out performances proving hugely popular with audiences and critics alike, receiving rave reviews.

The show forms part of this year's DaDaFest, Liverpool's annual festival which showcases a series of high-quality cutting-edge works which challenges stereotypes and celebrate disability and D/deaf cultures.

The full DaDaFest programme is available at www.dadafest.co.uk/events
