Redlights (Work In Progress)
Last year after a series of hospitalisations Nayonica (BBC Upload festival,Sky Comedy Rep shortlist,Chortle Student comedy semi finalist) read Matthew McConaughey's memoir Greenlights,which was marketed as a manual to turn life's "red lights" into "Greenlights". Only it turned out the red lights in Matthew's' life were that he was too handsome,too successful and had too many millions of dollars. So Nayonica, has created this hour of stand up in response for her fellow uglies and undesirables,looking back at all the red lights in her life.
During this comedy show Nayonica revisits all the times in her life when planning and doing the sensible thing ended up going wrong (like when she took a gap year to go to Glastonbury and then Glastonbury took a gap year or when tried to eat healthily but then the vegetables gave her food poisoning), then eventually turned out really well. Now, she’s left wondering if she should continue being logical and planning things or if she should just surrender to the chaos. This is definitely a far too philosophically and esoterically complex question for a stand up comedian to answer.
