‘A love letter to comedy by someone who wants it to mean something’ (The Guardian)
Rachel has always relied on humour. But what would happen if she couldn’t fall back on laughter? Turning the spotlight on the inner workings of comedy, The Way You Tell Them interrogates the desire and – sometimes uncontrollable – compulsion to be funny. Using real-life material, classic oral sex jokes and a wolf suit, she weaves a thoughtful and unsettling story that questions how we use and abuse humour. ‘Clever, funny and endearingly informal’ (Exeunt Magazine). ‘Rachel Mars is electrifying’ (Guardian).
Rachel will perform in Studio 1 on Wednesday 12 February at 7:30. You can get tickets (£8 / £5 concessions) from the Stage@Leeds box office at http://www.stage.leeds.ac.uk/contact.html or on 0113 3438730
