CABARET CREATIVE,

SINGER-SONGWRITER,

INSTRUMENT OF CHAOS.

Hiya!
I'm a proudly queer and neurodivergent cabaret artist, actor, singer-songwriter and theatre-maker.

My work typically involves a "wonderfully erratic" combination of conversational connection, quirky and soulful original song, and existential comedy. 

I take a particular interest (dare I say special interest) in neurodivergent issues, and the unique challenges faced by our generation - mental illness, capitalism, incredibly short attention spaaa...

I love doing gigs of all sorts and would love to chat about being part of your event. I can do anything from a 10 minute set, to bringing my show to your school or town, to hosting/emceeing - or a mystery fourth option of your choosing...? 🤔 

Feel free to make use of this nifty lil contact box, otherwise you can reach me at gracecolsey@gmail.com, through Instagram, or Facebook

GRACE - FRINGE (35).jpg

"There’s something about Grace and their particular way of storytelling that really brings you into their world but also brings you into your own world – it’s just one person and an audience connecting in the most beautiful way.”

What do we all desperately need right now in this fine dystopian hellscape of ours?

A completely revamped education system? The ability to live authentically? Human connection?

Don't be silly!

We need quirky existential cabaret!

Smiling Through the Human delves into the chaotic, weird and (un)wonderful experience of existing deep inside your head.

Why do I always cry on my birthday?

Why does it feel like I'm living the same day over and over?

...how many times am I going to be recommended to 'get a planner' before I become violent-

​Through the eyes of lived experience neurodivergence, and quirky original song, explore what 'humanness' looks like in our strange and inhuman world in a fun and sometimes confronting way.
