Amy Webber: Wannabe

Fresh from a 'Best Show' shortlisting, 5 star reviews and sell outs at this year's Edinburgh Fringe, Amy is bringing her show 'Wannabe' to Leeds. Described as "dizzyingly inventive" (Reviews Hub) and "hilarious" (North West End) this is a chance to catch a "rising star".  Originally training as an opera singer but then rebelling into pop, Amy is a professional singer and comedian who combines music and laughs with autobiographical cringe and a loveable stage presence. 

'Wannabe' was dreamt up after a trip to her mums which ended with mum sending Amy away with a box of her childhood junk. The contents sparked an idea to bring her teenage angst-filled lyrics back to life.Come along for a deep dive into a disastrous and hilarious series of events in this messy modern world; featuring Amy’s “witty” fast-paced dialogue, her signature “golden voiced” singing and self-produced wall to wall bangers that some might say are more suited to a middle England night club. 

Amy has provided tour support for the likes of Christopher Hall, Max Fosh, Grace Campbell and Emmanuel Sonobiand. She has performed live on BBC Radio 4's Loose Ends and Front row and has performed in some of the UK's most prestigious venues as a comedian and a singer including: Abbey Road Studios, Cadogan Hall, Clapham Grand, Leicester Square Theatre and The Comedy Store.
