Caroline and Dave say: Billy T James-award winner Abby Howells wowed us at the last Upsurge and you’ll love her latest show. When we saw this in Wellington the audience was crying with laughter. La Soupco is an absolute delight.

La Soupco* is the name of a screenplay comedian Abby Howells wrote when she was 11 years old. It is a romance, set in the Navy in the wake of World War II.

*No historical research, verification or corroboration was undertaken in the writing of this show.

Performed by Abby Howells, now aged 33, La Soupco is a tale of love, loss, nautical trauma and deeply undiagnosed autism.

La Soupco was the winner of the prestigious Billy T James Award at the 2023 New Zealand International Comedy Festival. You can see Abby on 7 DaysGuy Montgomery Spelling Bee and Comedians Giving Lectures.

*The name is not relevant to the story in any way. Don’t expect it to be.
