It’s My Funeral and I’ll Throw Glitter If I Want To – Melbourne Fringe

Winner of possibly the longest Fringe title this year, Isobel Marmion’s new show is a candid and refreshing look into mental illness and the fear of dying alone.

After a (tiny) mental breakdown, Marmion decides to celebrate her life the best way she knows how – by throwing her own funeral! Honest about her fears, Marmion shows us that death and mental illness are subjects that need to be discussed without fear and she does this in the most gorgeous and uplifting manner. Performed in an incredibly tiny room, there is nowhere for Marmion to hide which creates a great connection between herself and the audience.

Armed with glitter and streamers galore, Marmion’s beautifully emotional script and goofy awkward energy help to make this a heartwarming and super enjoyable show.
