Venue: The Poly Theatre
£12
This will be a work in progress show like no other work in progress show, except it might have bits from the last work in progress show in it. There's a pretty good chance of that. But rest assured I will be flying through it and definitely adding more stuff as the date of this performance charges over the hill at me, like a monster from the past but from the actual future as well.
Spencer is a comedian, actor, and writer, who has been nominated twice for the Edinburgh Comedy Award and for multiple BAFTAs.

Better known as, ‘That French TikTok Lady’, Tatty Macleod has gained a huge online following thanks to her hilarious and astute observations of French and British culture. Born in Zimbabwe and raised in France to British parents, Tatty has spent her life vacillating between cultures. In this, her debut hour, she unpicks that process of cultural adaptation. She shares her own experience of being a Roast Beef in France and a Frog in England, as she tries to get to the bottom of what makes us who we are and where we belong.
