What does it take to be cool? As a teenager of the Eighties, Rozarina had her clues from MTV Real World, Brooke Shields, Empress Masako and weirdly the series Dallas. The Eighties were filled with cool characters, remember Fido Dido? In your face advertisements with products that could improve your looks such as whitening cream and those that could make you look cooler like Menthol cigarettes. But did all that make her cool? Rozarina Larsen presents her second solo stand up show - White Fishing - a work in progress comedy about finding your authenticity. As an Asian teenager in the mid Eighties, Rozarina was clueless of what it takes to be cool and hip. In this bizarre comedy of self exploration, Rozarina gets real with some of her idols throughout her journey to adulthood from Madonna to Mother Theresa to Marie Condo and faces her obsession with whiteness. Come prepared to listen to some probably not so woke comedy in 2023 as Rozarina unfolds her identity-crisis and her path to finding her authentic self.

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.
