What Would Beyonce Do?

Before going to see this stand-up comedy. I didn't have a clue what to expect...besides something to do with the Queen Bee. Luisa Omielan reveals how dating standards have changed overtime as we embark on her journey of life. Covering all issues from love, suicide, depression, and one night stands. Luisa informs us on how she should have dealt with certain situations by simply asking herself " What Would B do?". All women within the audience displayed tears of laughter due to some of the predicaments Luisa shared with us, most of which we could relate to.

Luisa displays a narrative of different accents throughout the sketch from a gyrating yardie , a southern belle to Margaret Thatcher (whom she reveals as her idol, despite not knowing who she was until she saw 'The Iron Lady').
Luisa takes it one step further than most female commediennes which is reflected by her attire; a gold sequined too revealing her stomach and leopard print leggings. Reminiscent of a a character you may encounter on Benefit Street. Having said this, this is what made her so relatable. Especially as she claims those leggings were her last purchase which she spent the last of her budget on. She simply isn't afraid to reveal all of herself to us, by rolling around on the floor having a fit after being dumped and simply letting us know she has no idea about the Coalition!
Luisa is truly entertaining and involves her audience, embracing being a " Single Lady" to making us all aware that despite what we are going through, we are all "Survivors".
