A comedic retelling of a night that ends up in a memoir one day or making some therapist very rich.

‘Life is just a series of stories’, an ambiguous fortune cookie message in New York City is what started this whole she-bang. Thalia Joan nominated Best in Comedy at Sydney Fringe Festival 2024 is back with another charismatic and highly chaotic episode of “did that really happen?” after a fever dream style vacation and copious moments of deep self reflection... the only possible answer could be – this has to be for a Memoir?

Does life imitate art or other way around? Or in Thalia Joan’s world, does life imitate a never ending comedy? It seems it. Lost luggage (still lost for those wondering), a few random interactions with strangers and the only thing keeping her going is “just go with it, it’s for the memoir” after multiple sketchy moments – her Therapist has stopped subtly suggesting and is now passively aggressively enforcing the fact that pretending to write a hypothetical memoir is not justification for a slew of really poor choices. Come and decide for yourself, laugh at or laugh with – either way, you’ll be glad you’re on the listening side of the story.
