Yvonne Hughes: Is Absolutely Riddled (WIP)
Tennent's Laughter Lounge @ Tennent's Bar
Saturday 22nd March 2025
Show time: 7:30pm
Yvonne Hughes’ work-in-progress, Absolutely Riddled, is a fresh and bold dive into the reality of living with cystic fibrosis (CF)—a journey that’s as phlegmy as it is funny. Yvonne shares the humorous side of her story from magazine spreads to healthcare encounters, with a candour rarely found in glossy publications. She’s not just “another survivor”; she’s a puzzle-solving, resilient powerhouse embracing the parts of CF that others might shy away from talking about (especially mucus!).
This stand-up show promises an unapologetic, hilarious take on Yvonne’s life, where she navigates her 50s, transforming from someone barely surviving to fully thriving. Expect wit, wisdom, and perhaps a new appreciation for bodily fluids—courtesy of Yvonne’s knack for saying what others won’t. This isn’t your typical comedy; it’s an invitation to see life’s stickier situations through the eyes of a “living miracle” who’s absolutely riddled but laughing all the way through it.
