Happy-Go-Wrong
By Andi Snelling
Synopsis
Powerhouse performer Andi Snelling is in the fight of her life after a tick bite plunged her into dangerously ill health. Little does she know, she is about to orchestrate her own rescue in this visceral odyssey that blends clowning, storytelling and roller skates. Through a profound celebration of mortality and resilience, Andi aligns the personal with the universal and makes the invisible visible as she shares her ongoing plight with unflinching honesty and gut-punching comedy.
Happy-Go-Wrong was supported by an Adelaide Fringe Artist Fund Grant and the SA Tour Ready Award, presented by Adelaide Fringe.

Highlights
Analysis
“If it doesn’t take a larger stage at some point it’s our lack of support for the arts that’s sick.”
“It’s been a long time since I have been so affected by a performance, and I can still feel the lump in my throat, writing this a day later.”
“It deserves to be seen by a wider audience and on the main stages.”
“Her work is challenging and charming; confronting, confounding and captivating. This is an essential theatrical experience.”
