  • Micky is staring in the face of that decision: does she want to become a parent? If no, great. If yes, how could anyone justify that desire when the world is currently terrible, has always been terrible and will continue to be terrible? Micky takes you through all of this, and more, in her hilarious new special, The Precipice.
    In this critically acclaimed hour of comedy, Micky contemplates love, changes, robots and the possibility of motherhood. She talks about her feelings around marriage, how she doesn’t believe in the concept of respect and how diagnosing a parent is the best feeling in the world.
    Shot in the beautiful Pleasance Theatre in Islington, London, Micky delivers an hour of pin-sharp observations and carefully crafted gags that will speak to anyone who’s ever worried about the future or felt paralysed when staring in the face of a life-altering decision.
    “Top-notch lines that wouldn’t be out of place in an A-lister’s Netflix special” (Chortle)
    “A whipsmart summation of how paralyzing choice can be” (Funny Women)
    “Wit, precision and more than a little mischief” (The Scotsman)
    “A funny, clever diatribe that skilfully locates itself on a fault-line between male expectations and female empowerment” (The List)

    It’s awesome when you find a new comedian who is smart and funny and for some reason you’ve never heard of them before. This was an amazing set. Good luck finding a baby.

    Amazing set! These topics spoke to my soul. As a Millennial woman who also endured watching a close family member fight for their life to be here. I too have now wanted a baby even though it terrifies me a to be a mother. Thank you Micky for speaking your truth, it is nice to know someone else on this planet shares the similar story ❤

    Couldn't suss Micky's accent: British/U.$ or perhaps some Irish, maybe a little "Aussie". Her infectious energy with facial & bodily mannerisms got my attention. Her material is as fresh as a daisy, she's sharp, on point, witty & charming. Humour is certainly subjective, I find I do tune out, if the material doesn't relate. I've watched so much stand-up my attention span can easily wane & wander. She kept me engaged, she certainly knows how to work the crowd.
