Eleanor Morton

Comedian and reluctant online hit, Eleanor Morton presents a brand-new surreal and offbeat stand-up show about goals, trying and failing. In 2020 Eleanor climbed a hill, and that was the only thing she did all year. Sharp, silly stand-up infused with occasional characters and sketch about what it means to fail and keep trying. And climbing hills.

Grappling with what it means to be a woman in comedy in a post #metoo world, and the inherit misogyny of the comedy industry, this is a delightful comedy special from Scottish comic Eleanor Morton. The show is clever social commentary revolving around Eleanor's confident American alter ego, and the reality of what it means to inhabit the real world and confront double standards in the comedy industry as her real, Scottish self. Eleanor has performed at The Fringe 6 times, and her 2014 show Lollipop was nominated for a Scottish Comedy Award for Best Show.
