Bron Lewis: Chaos
Bron Lewis: ChaosBron Lewis’ life is complete and utter chaos, just ask her dog trainer. She has three kids - an emotional tweenager, a four-year old stalker and a middle one, and just when things couldn’t get any harder, she bought a puppy. A glutton for punishment, Bron has welcomed the flourishing of her comedy career, which means she has a million plates in the air and even more smashed on the ground around her feet. Bron, an ex-high-school teacher, wears the battle scars of an undervalued profession and is still reeling from the initial shock of motherhood 12 years ago. Come bask in her humiliating attempts at juggle-parenting, teaching, a career change and flailing mental health, because as the saying goes, ‘if we can’t laugh about it, we’ll burn the city to the ground’. If you’ve ever thought ‘If one thing goes wrong, we’re all dead meat’ or ‘What the hell was I thinking?’ then this is the comedy show for you!
