Esther Manito: Slagbomb

Event information

Esther’s new hour, “Slagbomb,” takes a nosedive into the awkward sandwich years of life. The phase when youthful freedom meets the reality of adult responsibilities. It’s a time when one finds themselves juggling everything from prostate checks to hosing faeces off the garden decking, whilst clad in questionable footwear like crocs.

Esther's life seems to be a magnet for embarrassing moments and endless cockups. No matter how hard she tries to project sophistication, she often ends up highlighting her unrefined side.
At its core, Esther’s hour is an exploration of the challenges and hilarities of navigating the sandwich years. Esther invites the audience to reflect on their own lives, reminding them that it’s perfectly okay to stumble along the way. With a Lebanese father dealing with war, a mother dealing with cancer, two kids (who seem to have permanently lost their PE kit) a husband who just wanted some birthday nooky and a sudden loss of hearing all highlights the messy, chaotic, and often hilarious moments that make up the journey of a right Slagbomb.
