Gillian Cosgriff

Life, Oh Life

Award-winning musical comedian Gillian Cosgriff is here to talk about life. Not just her life. Not just your life. Life as a concept. And time. As a concept. We’re living in an age of relentless productivity, where every second should be optimised. We’re also outsourcing our questions to technology more than ever. But you know who has lived experience of being alive? Other people!

The world is constantly offering us ways to save time, but no one is clear on what you’re supposed to do with saved time. Store it? Compound the interest? Buy a temporal beach house for your retirement? And if time heals everything why do we have penicillin?

With original songs, existential questions and the kind of clever, lyrical joy only Gillian can deliver, Life, Oh Life is musical comedy for anyone who’s interested in life advice from people who have actually lived.
