One women’s mission to let go of a load of sh*t
Look After Your Knees is a new solo performance by Natalie Bellingham that celebrates the messy business of being human, sprinkled with joy and ridiculousness.
In a blend of comedy, storytelling and movement, Natalie takes a personal journey through the pain and beauty of growing older, connecting and unravelling, holding on and letting go.
It’s about a person trying to unwrap a new version of themselves in a world they don’t recognise and a life they seem uncomfortably in charge of.
It’s about what comes next.

Reviews
“I left wanting to hold my loved ones closer, but also wanting to walk through a forest and learn the names of all the birds and mushrooms. A powerful, moving ode to finding your way through the debris left by loss, but at the same time a theatrical, warm hug”
Lothian Life
“Her lovely performance energy immediately imbues the room - the next hour is a joy”
Total Theatre
““Fantastic physicality, an exceptional talent”
The Reviews Hub, Yorkshire

Lynne Parker, Founder - Funny Women
“Honest, raw and emotionally open on the stage, it makes for a performer who is utterly compelling.”
