EMOTIONALLY UNDERCOOKED by Lisa Sa
Lantern Theatre, Brighton, BN21PA
Friday 4th December 2026 7:30PM
A funny, intimate, solo play about people-pleasing, self-growth and dating after healing, Emotionally Undercooked traces Lisa Sa’s reflections on childhood, love and the patterns that shape us.
From early lessons in performing to the complexities of adult relationships, Lisa explores boundaries, attraction and the courage it takes to embrace vulnerability. With warmth, honesty and sharply observed humour, the show navigates the messiness of emotions, the tension between desire and self-respect, and the moments that help us grow.
Audience Reviews:
Rosanna Holland This is one of the best shows I’ve seen in a long time. Hilarious yet so relatable Lisa was incredible!!
Michaela R Emotionally undercooked is a brilliant one woman show! Vulnerable, raw & funny. Lisa’s storytelling was incredibly relatable and she nailed all of the different characters. It really is a must see show if you’re looking for something relatable, heartwarming & you want to both laugh & cry!
Shah Nahwaz Lisa took us on a real rollercoaster, moving between sharply observed humour & deeply personal moments with warmth & honesty. I thought I’d had my fair share of dating disasters, but Lisa’s stories of bad dates & toxic relationships made my love life look positively well-adjusted! The biggest laughs came when she broke the fourth wall, turning to the audience as if to say, “Can you believe this actually happened?” Those moments made the storytelling feel wonderfully intimate, as though we were all friends being let in on the story.
