Heli Pärna: MIS(S)LABELLED • Stand-Up Comedy Solo in English • Saturday
In this riveting hour of comedy, you might get answers to some of life’s most
puzzling questions such as “Is there one common Eastern European
stereotype?”, “Can feminism be flexible?” and “Why MIS(S)LABELLED?”. Come
along and leave enlightened.
The Adventures of the White Unicorn premiered at the Tallinn Fringe Festival in
August 2023 and what better way to mark the anniversary than performing at
Edinburgh Festival Fringe in celebration of her first solo show. In her sincere
way, Heli talks TO the audience and not AT them, giving the show not so much a
comedian on stage, but old friends catching up for a drink vibe. On stage, Heli
bares it all and does not hold back - in her witty, funny and vulnerable way, she
takes you along on her adventures from cultural stereotypes, heartbreak and
crazy pick up lines.
Heli Pärna started performing stand up in 2022 due to too many events in her
life that needed to be shared with others. She has performed as the headliner in
Side Splitters Comedy showcase and opened for Derek Mitchel’s Double Dutch
and Magdulicious’s Beast from the East. Since the premier of her solo show in
August 2023 she has spread the laughter onto stages in Brussels, Luxembourg,
Geneva, The Netherlands, England and New Zealand.
Heli is based in Brussels, Belgium where she regularly performs, directs and
writes. She also runs and hosts the bi-weekly Funny Women Brussels show.
*** «What’s not to love? Heli is a fantastic comedian with a hilarious,
smart and heartfelt show about expat life and womanhood. Highly
recommended!»
*** «A hilarious tour through midlife angst in the best tradition of stand
up. Highly recommended!»
*** «Relatable for contemporary women, whether or not from Eastern
Europe. Highly recommend!»
*** «Witty & well observed... With heart... Loved your story... xx»
