Introducing Anna Hale: comedian, singer-songwriter, and unapologetic control freak. She’s written the jokes, the songs, planned the lighting cues and even sold the tickets. But when life spins out of control, can one perfectionist keep the show together, and, crucially, not let anyone else have a go?


Armed with killer punchlines and “emotionally revealing, musically catchy” songs (Chortle), Hale delivers an hour that’s “upbeat, tuneful, and defined by her resilience” (The Scotsman). With “powerhouse vocals” (The List) and “Broadway-level tunes” (Fringesider), she blends sharp comedy with undeniable musical flair.

Winner of Audience Favourite at the 2024 Musical Comedy Awards, Anna Hale is “raising the musical comedy bar even higher” (LMAOnaise Comedy) in a debut that proves being a control freak has never been so funny.
