Share this event
This true story blends dark comedy with survival - from chasing fame to enduring a surreal nanny gig and fleeing domestic violence, and somehow making it out with one unforgettable story to tell.
The unbelievable truth of nearly a decade in LA from award-winning actor and comedian Ambrosine Davies (Funny or Die, The Inbetweeners)
"Intimate, raw honesty, you can't help but laugh along, even as you wince" ★★★★ One4Review.
L.A. BABY is the autobiographical darkly comedic story of Davies’ nine years in LA, caught in a cycle of cringeworthy auditions, balancing odd jobs and working as a nanny for an Orthodox family in the middle of the world’s most expensive divorce. Soon swapping comedy aspirations for survival skills, Davies’ relationship at home escalates from toxic to terrifying. When stalking, death threats and the prospect of carrying a gun to school pick-ups become her only viable option, Davies realises her American Dream has become a life-threatening nightmare.
“Brave, direct and powerful” - The Scotsman ★★★★ Derek Awards.
