Angie Le Mar Writer, director and all-round star of hit comedy sketch show 'Funny Black Women on the Edge' Angie Le Mar comes to the Millfield Theatre with her brand new one woman show 'In my Shoes'.

Voted in the top 100 Great Black Britons and in the top 50 Black Powerful Women, Angie Le Mar is a force to be reckoned with. Holding such titles to her name as the first ever black comedienne to have a sell-out West End show and Britain's First Lady of Black Comedy, the show, written by Angie herself, is sure to be a top-notch comedian at their very best. Charting the chaos and the comedy of six women's lives, from a wannabe model at her Job Seeker's interview to a City Executive at home coming to terms with her daily solitude, 'In My Shoes' goes straight to comedy's edge.
