Bronwyn Isaac: Why Are You Here?

  • Comedy
  • Entertainment

Imagine if Emily in Paris was gay, had no fashion coats, and almost got deported from Europe.

Okay, so imagine a completely different woman who followed the new American dream: getting the hell out of the US.

Why Are You Here is a show that catches flights and feelings! It’s about former election reporter Bronwyn Isaac moving from NYC to Amsterdam with her girlfriend, and being faced with the question: 'Why are you here?!'

This show explores lesbian love, the circus of immigration, and the absurd experience of being alive and conscious in the current political climate.
