Georgie Morrell's A POKE IN THE EYE to Play Soho Theatre This Month

Georgie Morrell presents - A Poke in the Eye. One woman. One eye. And her (sort of) blind life... Written and performed by Georgie Morrell, 11th and 12th October at Soho Theatre, 7pm, and 24th October at the Women in Comedy Festival Manchester, Gulliver's Lounge.

The debut stand up show from comic, Georgie Morrell. Using her wit, charm, sounds and illustration Georgie tells the story of how she went blind but now she can see...literally!

Do your other senses really get stronger? Is it wrong to crack onto your doctor? Will I get a new eye that shoots lasers? Just some of the many questions our heroine answers whilst telling us how she went blind but now she can see... literally. Recounting stories of doctors, sexual fantasies, binge drinking, (sometime all at the same time) and family dramas. We hear a unique account of what it is to face inevitable blindness with her very own brand of humour. Being disabled is her excuse to do exactly what she wants, say what she wants and live her one eyed life as she wants.
