Chloe Petts - How You See Me, How You Don't

In a show as intricately crafted as a Babushka doll, Chloe Petts proves she is a comedian at the height of her powers. Within the story of a lifelong friendship, forged in the fires of an all girls state school, is the tale of Petts’ troubling encounter with online trolls – and within that is an intimate consideration of identity labels and who best they serve.
Each layer cracks open to reveal something even more personal than the previous, but Petts’ disarmingly relaxed demeanor keeps the atmosphere light. Through expert crowd work and an entertaining attempt at a Liverpudlian accent, Petts softens the tension around the meaty subjects she contemplates, welcoming the audience into the calm that she herself exudes.
How You See Me, How You Don’t is an emotionally dynamic show from one of the most exciting talents in British comedy.
