​What does a severed finger, a colonoscopy and a homemade flamethrower have in common? Moon Face. 

Moon Face is a strange lady with lots of stories to share, some dark, all ridiculous and mostly based on real life events. 


Expect comedy, cringe and oddities. Go visit your local moon today!

Written and performed by Ellie Scanlan

"Ellie’s comic timing was perfect, even her silent moments were somehow explosive, and I’ve never seen someone with such a mobile, expressive face. She was almost like a silent film star in her exaggerated drama." Mancunion theatre review
