'She's classy, she's fun, her brother happens to have a son - Sophie Banister is the cool aunt!
Following her journey moving across the world while her brother becomes a dad, Sophie asks the real questions: how does one even make a friend as an adult? Why do I care that I am missing a gender reveal when I am living my first #eurosummer? More importantly, which of Donna's friends from Mamma Mia is more my "aunt energy"? Am I a Tanya or a Rosie?
With original songs, looped guitar and vocals, Sophie brings high energy satire to a musical comedy hour bursting with tales from another Aussie abroad.
Produced by Grace Poynter
