"Aisling Bea is on commanding and fun-loving form with a set assembling the thoughts prompted by her recent accidental pregnancy and becoming a mum."
"The keynote is always cartoon egotism and a keen sense of her own ridiculousness, whether recalling childhood fashioning DIY Dairylea spreadables or moonlighting as a dad."
"In the closing stages, a moral to the story is ventured, as pregnancy and parenthood reveal to our host a range of gender expectations she strongly rejects."
Aisling Bea, at 42, presents her first standup tour, Older Than Jesus, showcasing her comedic talents over 75 minutes. The show humorously explores her accidental pregnancy and motherhood while maintaining her signature daftness and self-involvement. Bea shares anecdotes from her life, including childhood memories and humorous mishaps, contrasting her glamorous self-image with reality. The performance culminates in a heartfelt reflection on gender expectations, providing a moral insight that adds depth to her lively and chaotic narrative of middle age.
