Joy is a fu**ing oxymoron, Joy the titular character of Morma Young's latest play for A Play, A Pie and A Pint is completely lacking of a GSOH therefore it's putting a strain on getting past a second date!

At the end of her tether she discovers the 5 step program to learning how to laugh at jokes, ably practiced at the group for depression her GP sends her to.

Naomi Stirrat directed by Alex Fthenakis plays it like a stand up gig with mic in hand, dancing over the excellent script full of Chickens crossing roads, knock, knocks and Dr, Dr gags.

This funny play has plenty of self aware put downs and problems to make it resonate with each viewer.

Sometimes, like the chicken we just need to get to the other side, safely.
