“Nana’s comedic styling evokes the warm-hearted but deadly-sharp observational style of Victoria Wood.” North West End
The time has come for Nana to get intimate. She’s sick of the stadium life and is now touring smaller-scale venues to get up close and personal with her army of fans. She’s got a bee in her bonnet and wants you to get on it. This is no teatime with your granny; this is An Evening With Nana Funk!
An hour-long cabaret, created and supported by Liverpool Everyman and Playhouse New Works, combines songs and parodies, storytelling, and improvised songs generated from audience discussion. Nana Funk accompanies the songs on ukulele or by pianist and percussionist Val (Nana’s trusty sidekick).
The audience is taken on a hilarious and emotional musical rollercoaster as Nana challenges ageism and how aged/ageing people are portrayed in society. From delicate ballads to 90’s dance to full-on ROCK, Nana gives her not-so-subtle opinions on what it means to be “age appropriate”.
Nana Funk is a musical theatre singer-songwriter who shows that being awesome transcends age. Show creator Angie Waller has been entertaining audiences as Nana Funk since 2013 and combines song, script, improvisation, and clowning to create her own versatile and unique style.
The performance occurs at the iconic Crazy Coqs in the heart of Soho.
