Please give a warm welcome to your favourite social media influencer, recently selected by tech oligarchs to sell propaganda via live stream! Fusing movement, clowning, burlesque, comedy, and horrific storytelling that mirrors the current American landscape, this one-woman dark comedy explores the hilariously unsettling story of a modern American woman trapped with the repercussions of her own capitalistic choices.
'A searing, satirical exploration of what’s left of the American dream, social media pressure-selling for no rewards, and postmodern malaise. Semi-Automatic SmokeShow show gives a feeling of revolutionary despair aimed at the USA which has been largely missing from this year’s fringe.' To-Do List ★★★★
After premiering at the Edinburgh Festival Fringe, Semi-Automatic SmokeShow is back in London for its final run.
Delaney Conway is a London-based American actor and writer. Semi-Automatic SmokeShow is her first play and began in 2024 as the MA Acting Creative Project at Mountview.
