Francesca Martinez - I'mPerfect

Fringe Programme page 29
Whether you see the title of Francesca Martinez’s show as Imperfect or I’m Perfect the product is very funny and also poignant.  In the Press release the company state “It’s not about living with a disability. The show is about living, because everyone’s made to feel ‘imperfect’, if they don’t have the right image.  Mild paranoia is the new normal!
It is difficult at first to believe that this confident, very pretty, young woman is ‘disabled’ having been born with mild Cerebral palsy, she constantly looks drunk and is unable to do many of the day to day things others take for granted, this however did not stop Francesca having a career in television as part of the cast of the children’s programme Grange Hill and winning the Daily Telegraph Open Mic Award 2000.
Co-written by Francesca and Alex Martinez this show runs through incidents covering the many difficulties and prejudices she, and if we are honest with ourselves to some extent we, face in life.  She points out several ridiculous advertising slogans and finds ingenious ways round some of her own personal problems.
Francesca has always wanted to be a hairdresser!  Please continue to entertain us with you’re comedy you are so talented I would like to bring every fringe going comedy buff to see the show because for me the show was ‘Perfect’.
