Drawing on her experience as an NHS doctor, first-generation migrant, comedian and some-time endurance runner, Stefania Licari explores the role of women in todays world.From the operating theatre, to the theatre stage, via an ultra-marathon through the Sahara, Stefania reflects on the big questions: what inspires us? What motivates us? And what are we running to and from?The star of award-winning web series My Doctors Advice, Stefania sold out venues and earned rave reviews for her solo breakout Medico. Her follow-on stand-up hour maintains the physical and outrageous humour for which she is known - but promises to deliver her most personal and side-splitting material yet.Its an exciting moment to be a woman in comedy. I feel like were the suffragettes of the stage - working and fighting as women for our right to speak, and to be heard.

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.
