Clown Nipples and Nice Try (Two Solo Shows - Works in Progress)
  • Camden Fringe

In between lockdowns, two masked up American comics met at a Camden gig, bonding over their expat status and comedy.Stephanie Lorence, a New Yorker, a mother and a private tutor in Cambridge stopped homeschooling her daughters after only teaching them curse words and the catchphrase Mom, I need a bagel in a New York accent. Too cheap to pay for therapy, she's bringing her woes to the stage in 'Clown Nipples', which her five-year old says she has. Rabiah Coon is an accident-prone project manager who moved to London in 2020 and spent a year alone in her flat writing about her shortcomings, overcomings and misbecomings. In 'Nice Try' she shares her [possibly unreliable] narrative on close encounters with death, living with a chronic illness and a surname that even offends her!Reverential to their irreverence, the comics' work in progress solo shows are to be laughed at (not missed)! Fifty percent of profits from ticket sales will be donated to the UK charities Refuge (25%) and the MS Society (25%).

Since you’re here…

… we have a small favour to ask. We don't want your money to support a hack's bar bill at Abattoir, but if you have a pound or two spare, we really encourage you to support a good cause. If this review has either helped you discover a gem or avoid a turkey, consider doing some good that will really make a difference.

You can donate to the charity of your choice, but if you're looking for inspiration, there are three charities we really like.

Mama Biashara
Kate Copstick’s charity, Mama Biashara, works with the poorest and most marginalised people in Kenya. They give grants to set up small, sustainable businesses that bring financial independence and security. That five quid you spend on a large glass of House White? They can save someone’s life with that. And the money for a pair of Air Jordans? Will take four women and their fifteen children away from a man who is raping them and into a new life with a moneymaking business for Mum and happiness for the kids.
