Micky Overman | The Precipice (Full Comedy Special)

Micky is staring in the face of that decision: does she want to become a parent? If no, great. If yes, how could anyone justify that desire when the world is currently terrible, has always been terrible and will continue to be terrible? Micky takes you through all of this, and more, in her hilarious new special, The Precipice.

In this critically acclaimed hour of comedy, Micky contemplates love, changes, robots and the possibility of motherhood. She talks about her feelings around marriage, how she doesn’t believe in the concept of respect and how diagnosing a parent is the best feeling in the world.

Shot in the beautiful Pleasance Theatre in Islington, London, Micky delivers an hour of pin-sharp observations and carefully crafted gags that will speak to anyone who’s ever worried about the future or felt paralysed when staring in the face of a life-altering decision.

“Top-notch lines that wouldn’t be out of place in an A-lister’s Netflix special” (Chortle)

“A whipsmart summation of how paralyzing choice can be” (Funny Women)

“Wit, precision and more than a little mischief” (The Scotsman)

“A funny, clever diatribe that skilfully locates itself on a fault-line between male expectations and female empowerment” (The List)
