APPY - is a work in progress stand up comedy show from Liam Tulley about the current digital age where everyone seems to be attractive, happy and popular. Social media can sometimes make it appear as though everyone is living a life better than our own and can leave us feeling like a failure. Failure that is created entirely by our own mindset, which leads to an increase in anxiety and depression.With humour and material described as inventive and laden with unexpected twists, Liam breaks the spell of the barrage of expectations that convince us being imperfect amounts to failure. Allowing happiness in times of struggle and moments in life that keep him going in an era of scrolling, swiping, posing and pretending.'An original mordant thinker, droll beyond his years and very funny' - Anthony J Brown (Comedy Promoter)'Funny and formed the mood of the room' - Peter Fox (Comedy Reviewer) 'His angry rants against idiocy got the crowd on his side immediately' - Scunthorpe Independent

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.

Show me the charities

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.
