Amy Matthews: Definitions of Toast

Amy Matthews: Definitions of Toast is a stand-up show built around a search for anger. The performer has noticed that everyone around them seems more furious than ever, and has set out to learn how to feel it, while also navigating a first queer relationship after a run of difficult past relationships. Emotions that arrive late, or not at all, supply much of the comic material.

The show is presented by Little Wander in association with PBJ Management, and has been heard on Off Menu. Press quotes gathered for the production describe a dry, quirky delivery, a relaxed charm combined with sharp wit, and writing praised for its cleverness and originality.

Fairfield Social Club is a theatre on Irk Street in Manchester, where this stand-up show is performed. The material also touches on being a supporting figure in one's own life, and on the idea that a potion from 2002 is responsible for how the world has turned out.
