existential lingerie
a brand new 60-minute solo show from the award-winning creator of love, sharks & frenching
Lou Laurence is bringing the world premiere of her brand new show, EXISTENTIAL LINGERIE, to Petit Campus for the Montreal Fringe Festival, June 2026.
Montreal’s award-winning singer, comedian, and storyteller returns with this hilarious, absurd, sultry new musical comedy about an existential crash-out sparked by ill-fitting underwear and Lou's ultimate quest for... fulfillment? With a voice that'll blow you away, Lou is “downright charming” – Binge Fringe and “a breath of fresh air and energy” – Radio-Canada.
“She’s here to seduce the crowd, and it works.”
