      Following her sold out performance of Harlequeen at Upsurge 2022, Abby returns with the weirdly wonderful *La Soupco. Abby navigated this show to the winner's podium at the prestigious 2023 Billy T James Awards.

      Written by Abby at age eleven and performed by her at age thirty three, La Soupco is a nautical romance set in the wake of World War II.

      It is a tale of love, loss, trauma and deeply undiagnosed Autism - in which no historical research, verification or corroboration has been undertaken.

      Join the expedition and explore the buried treasure of childhood, and the hilarious talents of one of New Zealand's best comedians.

      *Abby has no idea why her eleven-year-old self called it this. But we're going with it!
