I AM NOT A GORILLA

Gloria is not a gorilla, but she is stuck in the zoo. 

After five years of living her best gorilla life, it’s finally time for her to leave her cage and

re-enter the human world. But before that, she’s going on a date…

Posey is dressed in a gorilla outfit, with a yellow sundress over the top. She has a chubby face and frizzy bleached blonde hair in a short, back-combed bob. Her face is painted to resemble a gorilla. She is smiling a big, toothy smile and has her head tipped back joyfully. Pink text reads "5 stars." Beneath it, white text reads "Brilliantly bonkers & totally absurd. Fringe Biscuit."

Life After the Fringe:

  • The Bill Murray (I was meant to invite industry to this, but I forgot to so I just did it for my pals)

  • The Electric Arcade (Brighton Comedy Fringe)

  • The Pleasance, Islington (Best of the Fringe)

  • Soho Theatre (Soho Rising)

Posey is dressed in a gorilla outfit, with a yellow sundress over the top. She has a chubby face and frizzy bleached blonde hair in a short, back-combed bob. Her face is painted to resemble a gorilla. She's midway through telling a story, with her hands out in front of her, framing her face. She is wearing a yellow sundress, with a mysterious wax strip stuck where her gorilla nipples would be.

My word. I Am Not A Gorilla is unlike anything I’ve ever seen before and I absolutely loved it. Posey Mehta’s one-woman show is a full body experience: hilarious and horrifying, delicious and disgusting; this is a must-see exemplar of the unhinged at the Fringe and I wish I could watch it for the very first time again.

The show's thematic complexity - the trials and tribulations of womanhood and relationships to food, for example - is expertly hidden under layers and layers of silly clowning. It is the most fun that I have ever had at the Fringe.

​

I Am Not a Gorilla is the performance equivalent of necking a pint of gin. It's fly-by-the-seat-of-your-pubes stuff and it's delightful.

Her face is painted to resemble a gorilla. She has badly applied make-up all over her face, is leaned back in either rapture or agony, with a glass of wine in her hand.
