The Book of Audrey

Audrey Shalosh has lived a life full of stories. Some she’s proud of. Some she’d rather forget. And some that refuse to stay buried. When she arrives in the afterlife, Audrey isn’t met with quiet reflection, but with bright lights, a live audience, and a host who already knows everything. In Moroni Live, her life is laid out piece by piece — every choice, every misstep, every moment that shaped who she is. As the line between judgement and entertainment begins to blur, Audrey is faced with more than just her past. She must decide how to own it. Bold, heartfelt, and sharply funny, The Book of Audrey explores identity, accountability, and the power of telling your story in your own voice. Because when your life becomes a spectacle… who really gets to decide its worth?

The Easy Way Out
2026-06-13 20:30 - 21:30
A musician, a doctor, and a traumagenic personification of God walk into a hospital. Tale as old as time.
Eli Yim, a young adult in a mental health crisis, goes to A&E in a last-ditch attempt to get help. What begins as a flippant retelling of their life story becomes an exploration of suicidality’s brutal truth – when no one else can save you, you must keep choosing to save yourself.
The Easy Way Out combines theatre, live music, and stand up comedy to both entertain and expose the uncomfortable reality of UK mental health services. Eli shares a range of personal experiences covering generational trauma, religion, and queer identity through original songs sung onstage with their keyboard. And, sometimes, an inappropriately-timed kazoo.
“A complex, engaging performance that reflects Eli Yim’s endless talent” – Buxton Festival Fringe 2025
