An Evening With Nana Funk
Nana Funk
Liverpool, UNITED KINGDOM - ENGLAND
Winner of the Brian's Life Best Comedy Award, Prague Fringe Festival 2025
“Nana’s comedic styling evokes the warm-hearted but deadly-sharp observational style of Victoria Wood.” North West End
Ageing well doesn’t mean behaving yourself. Just ask Nana Funk, the great-greatgrandmother of good times and star of award winning An Evening With Nana Funk, an hour-long One Nana cabaret studio show with stadium ambitions coming to The Dragonfly Lounge as part of the Colchester Fringe Festival.
The show combines live music (in the form of original songs and parodies), storytelling and improvised songs and poems generated from audience questions.
The time has come for Nana to get intimate. She’s sick of the stadium life and is now touring to smaller scale venues so she can 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’.
The audience are taken on a hilarious and emotional rollercoaster as Nana challenges ageism and how aged/aging people are portrayed in society. From delicate ballads to 90's dance and all the way through to full on ROCK, Nana gives her not so subtle opinions on what it means to be “age appropriate”.
