Life’s a party. At some point we all have to leave; some of us just choose when. After sell out shows at Melbourne, Adelaide and Edinburgh Fringe – Melbourne Fringe 2017. Best Performance Nominee Twenty Minutes To Nine is BACK on home turf!!

A show about the pivotal moments in life; death, grief, loss, love, and the support of the people that get you through it. With the aid of a guitar, loop pedal and an accordion, Amanda transports you into her world; a collection of stories that are as hard-hitting as they are hilarious.

When confronted with suicide, Amanda and her friends didn’t know if or how to speak about it; what they learnt was that they had to. Named ‘Top Ten Must See Shows at The Edinburgh Free Fringe’ (Culture Trip), Twenty Minutes To Nine invites you to join the conversation and raise a glass to the ones you love.

This project received Cash for Equity through the Fringe Fund, as part of Radical Access.

“A brave, insightful, heart-wrenching solo performance.”- Fritz Magazine, Adelaide.
“Engaging and thought-provoking” ★★★★ - Fringe Guru.
“So simple and so honest it is positively magnificent” ★★★★ – whatdidshethink.com
“Wonderfully refreshing and frank.”– fringereview.co.uk.
“Like a sledgehammer made of feathers to the heart.” - Woody, audience member.
