Through high-energy performance and deeply personal storytelling, Charlotte unpacks the chaotic thoughts behind perfectionism, body image and the pressure to “have it all together.”

What starts as a routine consult quickly spirals into an emotionally charged, fast-paced theatrical experience that balances laugh-out-loud comedy with genuine vulnerability.

Praised for its originality and relatability across major fringe festivals, Initial Consult is a show that lingers long after the final note.
