Sarah Ison – You Laugh, Therefore I Am
Thursday 7 August 2025 7.30pm
Back in the day, Sarah Ison turned to the wisdom of Tumblr to “live, laugh, love” her way out of the creeping existential dread. Despite all her efforts at following the advice of the spiritual leaders of the age and just “shaking it off” or Marie Kondo-ing her way to happiness, she still doesn’t have the answers. So she’s turning back the clock to the OG’s. No, not Kelly Clarkson. From the classic thinkers of Plato and Socrates to the canine-obsessed Pavlov, this uproarious stand up-sketch show takes you through hundreds of years of philosophy and psychology to answer the question all the great thinkers tried to solve: What the f***s the point? (You do know. There isn’t.)Want to book in to see multiple LOL Season shows at Canberra Theatre Centre? Give our friendly Canberra Ticketing Box Office team a call on (02) 6275 2700 during our opening hours and they can assist in organising an amazing festival experience for you.
