ha ha ha ha ha ha ha (Pasadena)

All Julia Masli wants to do is solve people’s problems and win the Nobel Peace Prize, but this plan keeps going wrong as she continually wins prizes for comedy. In her wildly unpredictable solo show ha ha ha ha ha ha ha, the award-winning performer turns the audience’s problems into surreal, side-splitting theater. No script, no safety net, just one woman on a mission to help. After sensational runs in Edinburgh, Melbourne, New York, and D.C., Julia is on her way to Pasadena to solve all our problems. It was bad enough when she was the winner of the Malcolm Hardee Award for Comic Originality in 2019 and her debut show 'Choosh' - about a migrant's struggles in the USA - was one of the most acclaimed comedy shows of the Edinburgh Fringe in 2022. But in 2023, things spiralled when she set out to help audience members in 'ha ha ha ha ha ha ha', which you can read about in the New York Times. This serious, important event was nominated for Edinburgh's top prize of Best Comedy Show and named number one comedy show of the year by the 'Guardian', before being invited for a four-week, completely sold-out run at London's Soho Theatre. Despite the seriousness of Julia's intentions, the show was once more shortlisted for Most Outstanding Show at the Melbourne International Comedy Festival after another total sellout season. From there, it transferred directly to a four-week run at Soho Playhouse in New York City. Julia Masli is an award-winning clown from Estonia, based in London. She has taught at Ecole Philippe Gaulier and at various drama schools in the UK.
