FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE


‘Dead Funny’ - Award-winning designer takes center stage in Lola’s Grave Mistake

Two-time Wellington Theatre Awards’ Designer of the Year Ian Harman is keeping himself on his toes with his latest artistic vision. As well as showcasing his exceptional talents in costume, set and production design, Lola’s Grave Mistake (BATS Theatre, 7-10 February) stars Harman’s glamorous alter-ego, Mr Lola Illusion, in a solo cabaret spectacular that promises to be ‘dead funny’

Lola’s Grave Mistake is Lola Illusion’s second full-length solo show and premiered with an acclaimed sell-out season in the 2016 Palmerston North Solo Festival. His first solo outing, The Lola Show, also toured to Wellington (as part of Fringe 2017), but the entertainer can most reliably be found on the bill for cabaret and variety nights both here in the Capital and in Palmerston North, where he is the beloved Master of Ceremonies for events at The Boom Boom Room, the city’s premiere burlesque and cabaret showcase. Now he’s back at BATS, and once again the bewitching boylesque crooner, cunning conjurer and professional show-off is on his own.

- Tina White, The Evening Standard
