Stand-up show by former pop star Hayley Ellis, who uses her 1990s girl band past to explore body image.
Hayley Ellis brings her stand-up show Stop Showing Off In Front Of Your Mates to Social on Wednesday 3 March. It's a solo hour, and the starting point is her time as a pop star in the 1990s. She recalls the look of those years with a fringe held up by layers of hairspray and a single lace glove, and the show leans on that nostalgia, with Ellis recounting an indoor skydiving debacle and her time with Smash Hits magazine. She frames the hour around body image, so the pop star stories sit alongside a more personal thread.
Social is a former warehouse on Humber Street in the independent Fruit Market area. It opened in 2010 as Fruit and was reborn in 2020 as Social, a 300-capacity room that's since hosted the likes of The Blinders, Nubiyan Twist, Shed Seven, The Lathums, Mystery Jets and Alabama 3. It's a good-sized space for a comedy night, and being in the Fruit Market means there's plenty of other things to do around it before or after.
