Katie Brennan's Quarter-Life Crisis

To those further on in life, the prospect of a quarter-life crisis may seem a little ridiculous. Brennan doesn't help matters by referring to "we" and "us" when talking about her concerns, implying that all in the room are of a similar age to her. But it's a perfectly valid viewpoint as here, in her musical show, Brennan offers a snapshot of this particular point in her life and, despite still being young, it's not all prosecco and parties.

The show also serves as a snapshot of what it is to be in your twenties in 2016. Indeed, life hasn't worked out quite how she hoped. She's 29 and still single, having had various bad sexual experiences with fellas she met via Tinder and getting invited to weddings. She's paying extortionate amounts for rent in London and, like so many, struggles with anxiety, depression and self-esteem issues.

For all the negativity, she's an exuberant, smiley performer, belting out West End-style tunes with backing from pianist Joseph Atkins. The humour is a little pedestrian but Brennan sells it well. In addition to her own penned songs there are cover numbers including a heartfelt version of The Beatles' 'Here Comes the Sun', which brings tears to the eyes of the front row – she's clearly striking a chord here.

Given that she's here resplendent in sparkling jumpsuit and eye shadow to match, serenading a decent sized crowd on a Wednesday night, maybe Brennan is living her dream life more than she thinks.
