In her award-winning stand-up show, Esther Manito (Live at the Apollo, Stand Up Sketch Show) looks back at the era of lad mags, landlines and cock-n-ball graffiti.
A time where the media said her Middle Eastern heritage was filled with misogynistic men, whereas the West absolutely had (and still has) sexism sorted. Has lad culture really improved? Does 90s Essex have the answers?
Best Show Winner 2021 Leicester Comedy Festival.
