Abigoliah Schamaun: Legally Cheeky
12 Apr 19:30
Select a performance
Abigoliah thought she had it all; the flat, the career, the life partner. This US transplant was living The American Dream…in London. Then one day, the Wicked Witch of Westminster told Abigoliah to click her sparkly heels and go ‘home’. In that moment, everything changed. To lose would mean losing everything.
Much to her surprise, Brexit means Brexit, even for non-Europeans. Abigoliah’s quest for the Holy Visa began, and the fight was very much On.
Legally Cheeky charts Abigoliah Schamaun’s journey in a heart-warming tale of highs, lows, twists, and turns as she recounts the year that shook her and her partner Tom to the core. Her natural lust for life and infectious positivity transforms the painful and frustrating horror of bureaucracy and red tape into a joyfully hilarious shared experience; you’ll laugh, you’ll cry, and you’ll cheer for her to win!
