**Winner of JUST FOR LAUGHS Outstanding English Comedy Award**, Laura Piccinin brings her show to the SoCap stage for one night only. “Piccinin is a masterful comic with a keen sense of timing and joke structure. Within moments, she commands the audience, and we’re happy to follow wherever she’d like to go.” ~ Aisling Murphy, *Toronto Star* “Laura has an effortless way of telling her stories that makes you feel like you’re a confidant to her most harrowing tales. In that liveliness is a wit and charm that had me laughing from start to finish." ~Janine Marley, A View From the Box “Laura Piccinin is irresistible. Laura’s blunt honesty marries with her winking charm to present complicated material in an utterly accessible way. If stand-up’s your jam, don’t miss this one.” ~Kelly Bedard, My Entertainment World
