Wanna Be a Star

A sharp, chaotic comedy blending stand-up and theatre as Mema unravels manifestation, ambition and rejection while chasing stardom.

Because stand-up comedy and acting are exactly the same thing... right?

Sequins. Satire. Spirals.

In this sharp, self-aware comedy show, Mema reflects on her acting career so far- from big dreams and drama school to teachers with suspiciously convenient medical degrees and the industry's more questionable characters. Nothing is off limits.

Part stand-up, part theatrical spiral, this is a brutally honest, hilariously chaotic look at ambition, rejection, and the glamour of being a currently unemployed actor.

Delusional or desperate? You decide. If you don’t laugh, you’ll cry.
