I had the pleasure of experiencing 'My Little Phobia' a one-woman show that left me utterly captivated. The moment Emily took center stage, she effortlessly guided us through the maze of her psyche.

The show takes you swiftly and dexterously from one mood and scene to another, from deep psychic probings to pure (and very funny) physical comedy.

Can't have anyone vomiting during the show, after all....
