And now it’s time for yet another favourite performer – fresh from last night’s Spank! (You love it!) it’s Abigoliah Schamaun with her show Namaste, Bitches at Belly Laugh @ Underbelly, Cowgate at 19:40 on Thursday 24th. Let’s take a look at the blurb: “What’s the point in pursuing enlightenment when you could just put your feet up and knock back a bourbon? And what passes for happiness these days? Abigoliah is a certified Bikram Yoga instructor; she’s run marathons and Tough Mudders, participated in Crossfit competitions… Why would she bother when you’re just as likely to find those sweet endorphins at the bottom of a pint glass? She dissects mankind’s relationship with wellness and happiness; a show for anyone who’s paused on a treadmill or over a shot glass and wondered ‘wait… what am I doing?’ ***** (ArtsAwardVoice.com).”

I love Abigoliah, she’s feisty and funny and fearless and all the other F words! I’m really looking forward to seeing her do her one-woman show because I bet it will be three parts goofy to one part sheer intelligence – or will that be the other way round? Check back around 9 pm to see how much we enjoyed it. By then the next preview blog should be available to read too.

A really great show from Abigoliah, mixing together so many threads and creating a delightfully surprising finale that will satisfy her childhood dreams. Very funny, but also rather moving, it invites you to analyse your own definitions of happiness and enlightenment, and appreciate how others see those hard to attain things. All that, yet it’s refreshing and bubbly and laugh out loud. We loved it. You should go see it!
