The Scene duz Lambeth Fringe - This Wasn't The Plan

The Scene gets up close to some of the artists and perfomers taking part in this years Lambeth Fringe. Offering up sneak previews of a few choice shows, and insights in to the purpose and process that bring these pieces to life.Our show is a tapestry of our experiences as women of colour in our early 30s — navigating identity, illness, love, and the messy art of self-acceptance, one failure at a time.Iman is a psychiatrist-turned-comedian who can’t drive, won’t run, and once developed a deeply questionable tap dancing habit. From accidental real estate disasters to unintentionally faking a pregnancy for social reasons, her life is a parade of chaos, confusion, and unexpected public appearances (including 1/10 of a second in a Dove ad). Whether she’s navigating strange incidents at work, using the love languages quiz as DIY couples therapy, or failing to recognise people she’s definitely met, Iman turns her misadventures into brutally honest, self-deprecating storytelling — sharp, hilarious, and just a little unhinged.Stuti is a rising comedic voice serving sharp cultural commentary with a generous dose of self-deprecating wit. Navigating turning 30, gym guilt, Instagram milestones, chaotic weddings, and the quirks of cross-cultural life, she champions radical self-acceptance with both heart and hilarity. Whether she’s ranking brides like it’s a sport or casually unpacking her health issues on stage, Stuti brings a millennial desi lens to life’s absurdities — with candour, charm, and zero patience for LinkedIn energy.Tickets through the Lambeth Fringe website: https://lambethfringe.com/events
