Laura Lexx has that rare stand-up superpower: she can take a room from relaxed chuckles to full-bellied laughter with nothing more than a raised eyebrow and a perfectly timed pause. Warm, whip-smart and gloriously self-aware, she spins everyday frustrations, modern absurdities and her own inner monologue into comedy that feels both deeply relatable and joyfully unhinged.

Her storytelling is tight and clever, but never showy — the kind where you suddenly realise you’re hanging on every word because she’s quietly built a whole world of detail around a single moment. And when she shifts gears into something sillier or more surreal, it lands even harder because you’re already right there with her.

A Laura Lexx set at Deer Shed will be a pure treat: charming, clever and packed with the sort of laughs that ripple long after the punchline. Expect warmth, mischief and a comic who knows exactly how to make a festival audience feel like old friends.
