Overview

Fran Lebowitz is renowned for her razor-sharp commentary, biting realism and unapologetic observations.

Returning with An Evening with Fran Lebowitz, the star of Martin Scorsese’s hit Netflix documentary series Pretend It’s a City unleashes her chain-smoking, coffee-drinking New Yorker bite on a world falling ever more deeply into depravity, sucked along in the wake of Trump 2.0. 

Divinely judgemental, no matter is too great – or too small – for Fran’s baleful glare. Fran’s is an unwavering dedication to justice that has seen her portray judges in Law & Order and in The Wolf of Wall Street: roles she does not consider to be acting. 

Weaving a cautionary tale for our society, and never short of an opinion – from politicians to AI and people who walk too slowly to billionaires – Fran has for decades lambasted the abhorrent and ridiculous with wit and wisdom in equal measure.

Come for the candour, stay for the cynicism – and leave vastly more entertained.

Fran Lebowitz will be joined on stage by journalist and screenwriter, Benjamin Law.
