    How Can Comedy Dismantle Assumptions?

    People assume, based on my clickbait title My Mum Told Me Not To Marry An Atheist, that I am normalising atheist relationships. When in reality, they are the joke of the show


    "Hats off to the CPT for this fine show, well researched and coming from a place of great passion... Comm­unity theatre at its most effective."
