Fin a freelance illustrator is working a zero-hour contract as a cycle courier, her free-spirited and unconventional approach to life at odds with the expectations of those around her. Her discovery in her late twenties that she is pregnant leads her to confront her own belief systems and examines the othering of expectant mothers.
'Am I Losing My Mind Or Just My Figure' premiered at Edinburgh Fringe Festival 24 years ago winning a London transfer to the Pleasance in London.
New elements have been introduced since its first outing in 2001, with actor and theatre maker Genevieve Labuschagne collaborating with the show’s originator Sam Holland-Bunyan.
This version, whilst maintaining much of the original considers some of the crises that Labuschagne has herself experienced as a woman in her late twenties attempting to manage the pressures of an unconventional career, misguided relationships, and the decision to have a child.
“A delicate and wistful reflection on pregnancy, something rarely explored in the theatre" The Stage
"One of the braver, more sensitive, and infinitely more memorable shows on the Fringe” The Scotsman****
Inventive, physical and achingly human. The show comically explores life, pregnancy & parenthood. It shines a light on how not only so much of who we are and what we do is shaped by those who raise us but also how so much of what we experience changes us.
