Cross Examination (A Work in Progress)

For most of her life, Mary Cross was the star witness in the case of “How to Fit In.”

Northern. Gay. Church-going. Straight-A student. Party girl. Barrister. Comedian. Mum.

Each role performed flawlessly. Each one slightly rehearsed.

But somewhere between the courtroom and the comedy stage, Mary discovered something unexpected: her true voice

In Cross Examination, Mary uses her legal training to interrogate the evidence of her own life.

When did the double life begin?

How many versions of yourself can you become before you forget which one is actually you?

And what happens when you finally stop performing as the person you think everyone wants and start being yourself?

Blending painfully funny stories, 90s anthems and fearless self-reflection, Mary charts her journey from outsider child to high-achieving professional to stand-up comedian where, most unexpectedly, she found the most authentic version of herself.

Uplifting, nostalgic and gloriously unfiltered, Cross Examination is for anyone who has ever edited themselves to fit in and is finally ready to live out loud.

Court is in session and YOU get to give the verdict

This debut performance will be followed by a 90's school disco so you can be your loudest self on the dance floor.
