Laura Lexx: Yo-Yo

Yo-Yo is a stand-up comedy show by Laura Lexx, presented at The Wardrobe in Leeds and following on from the earlier show Slinky. It is a solo evening of personal material.

The show takes a ten-year marriage as its starting point: the long stretch in which a partner comes to see every awkward moment, poor decision and unfiltered thought, yet still says they love you. Its material follows the question of whether that affection can truly be believed, and whether one can learn to feel kinder towards oneself in the process.

Laura Lexx is an award-winning stand-up comedy performer. The earlier show, Slinky, was described as critically acclaimed and took the top show prize in the Women in Comedy Festival, and Yo-Yo arrives on the back of that success. Television appearances listed for the performer include Mock The Week, Live at The Apollo and Roast Battle, and reviews from The Scotsman, The Guardian and The Telegraph each awarded four stars.

This is a solo stand-up show, with Laura Lexx as the only performer named, presented at The Wardrobe, a Leeds venue that hosts concerts and shows. Audiences can expect personal stories delivered directly to the room, drawn from everyday embarrassment and candid reflection on relationships.
