8pm - 9pm - Molly McGuinness

Riddled with guilt in a rise and grind society, self confessed slob-life advocate Molly was beginning to question her choices. Should she have savings? Is it weird to eat your mattress? And is there more to life than a pub with karaoke and a buffet? But when she’s suddenly laid out by a rare life-threatening illness, Molly is forced to slob out whether she likes it or not…

Reviews for previous Shoe Cake Comedy - Festivals events

Sean D reviewed The Last Stop To Edinburgh Comedy Festival - Stockton On Tees which happened on 6:59pm on Fri 19th Jul 2024.

First time ever at a comedy gig and it was fantastic! I was cry laughing throughout nearly all of it. My only small complaint is that it wasn't easy to find the venue and needed to ask directions from a local.
