Silly and Surviving

The 2020s have been shit.

From cost of living and covid to deepfakes & doomscrolling, it’s too much to handle. But Kie Carson is “Silly & Surviving”.

In “Silly and Surviving”, rising comedy firecracker Kie Carson proves that sillies just won’t pay the billies - but it might save your sanity. Through a queer, working-class lens, Kie unravels absurd thoughts, wild observations, and life’s ridiculous struggles with unstoppable charm, fearless honesty, and relentless, laugh-out-loud chaos.

Kie is "extremely likable" (Nodding Dog Comedy), with "original and intelligent material" (Funhouse Comedy) delivered with "infectious charm" (Stage Fright Comedy). His material about being Queer has been described as "thought provoking" (Mint Comedy Club) at the same time as being a "cheeky character that kept the audience howling" (Toft House Comedy Club) combined with a "great energy and presence" (XS Malarkey). The Stand in Newcastle described him as a "favourite of the night", citing his "natural ease and enthusiasm".

Filled with ludicrous improvisations and crowd work that makes the room feel like a party, this show is about exposing the silly side of everyone, in spite of whatever troubles or woes they may be facing.
