Natasha’s story touched many of the hearts of critics during the festival this summer as she took the audience on a journey through her life and into the world of someone who has been in a wheelchair since birth. Natasha was born with the incurable genetic disease Spinal Muscular Atrophy, but this has not confined this witty and wildly charismatic 37 year old from Nottingham… “What I lack in movement, I make up for vocally!” Inspired by her hilarious email diaries home to friends and family, we witness her fairytale marriage, quirky parents, siblings and her glamorous job as a TV production manager for the BBC. There are tears, but more importantly, there is a lot of laughter. Her story is empowering, humorous, one–of-a-kind take on life, love, lingerie, sex with a little disability thrown in. Natasha premiered ‘Rolling with Laughter’ in Hollywood to critical acclaim early this year and received a flurry of media coverage, including a live broadcast from the theatre on Fox News.
