About this Event
Authentic, curious, and gleefully irascible, storyteller and comedian Desiree Burch leads a madcap voyage through menopause, mid-life, and all the mandatory metamorphosis in her new standup hour, “The Golden Wrath”. Desiree brings childlike wonder and crone-like wit to the experiences of losing sleep, relevance, knee cartilage, oestrogen, youth, and illusions in a laugh-packed hour that celebrates the fury and freedom found when you accept that time has ruined your plans, even as you roll up your sleeves to fight it anyway.
