Plugging Mama Cass
American comedian Amy Lamé dropped me a nice email a few weeks ago mentioning that her show, Amy Lamé’s Mama Cass Family Singers (which I’ll refer to, for ease of typing if not ease of reading, as ALMCFS from now on), has a London run this month.
One of the highlights of my Edinburgh festival visits*, ALMCFS is a one woman show in which Amy recounts, with the assistance of family photos, video interviews and 1960s music, her life as a child star press-ganged into a Mamas and the Papas tribute band.
It’s funny, touching, and slightly mad. And there are sandwiches. It’s running at the Soho Theatre from the 15th to the 25th of this month at 9.30pm, and tickets, which you can book here, are £15.
*The other was the marvellous Moths Ate My Doctor Who Scarf
