Comedian Lori Hamilton’s show, North Star, premieres at Brighton Fringe
Hamilton shares the highs and lows of life at Brighton Fringe in cooperation with theSpaceUK for four live shows beginning May 28, 2021
North Star is about charting a way through life’s tragedies, calamities and pitfalls to eventual happiness. A delightful way to tell a sometimes tragic story, Hamilton’s one-woman show is full of insight, humor and song which features flawed, quirky and often funny characters. North Star charts Lori’s journey from an unhappy early life with a father addicted to prescription drugs, followed by a husband who punched holes in walls, through to becoming an award-winning actor, singer and comedian.
“Mum called me ‘the child who ruined my life’ and took a vacation to Hawaii with the money my pain-killer addicted Dad left me for college fees. So, it seemed pretty clear I was on my own. North Star is about navigating dysfunctional families, personal tragedies, professional mishaps and lousy lovers. It’s not been graceful or elegant, but it’s all been very real, and I’m certain that lots of people will find that the songs and the show have strong echoes their own lives.”
Lori hopes using humor to share her own difficulties will give people the courage to face theirs. She has spent years turning her hardships into success and she wants to inspire others to find the strength to do the same.
