Micky Overman: Don't Threaten Me With A Good Time

Stand-up comedy by Dutch comedian, writer and actress Micky Overman, presented at the Quays Theatre at The Lowry in Salford as a new show following an international tour.

Don't Threaten Me With A Good Time is a new stand-up show built on a single tension: the wider world seems to be getting worse while the comedian's own life is going well. Micky Overman works through this contrast with observational material, personal anecdotes and quick one-liners, and offers the occasional piece of wisdom, though with no guarantee attached.

Micky Overman is a Dutch comedian, writer and actress who has been based in London since 2015 and was a finalist at the Funny Women Awards in 2016. The act performs in the United Kingdom, across Europe and at the Edinburgh Festival Fringe. The current show follows an international tour that ended with a sold-out run at Royal Theater Carré in Amsterdam, and television appearances on ITV2, Channel 4 and LUBACH have added to a substantial online following.

The Quays Theatre is the Salford space within The Lowry, where the programme is devoted mainly to theatre productions. Reviews quoted for the show, from The Observer, Chortle and The Scotsman, single out its precise gags, silly one-liners and sharp writing.
