Through an impeccable use of PowerPoint and photoshop, Charlene Kaye offers us an up-close and personal view of her life, raised by a ‘Tiger Mom’. Kaye leads us through a presentation of old photos and WhatsApp messages from her mother, accompanied by her own witty, rock’n’roll view of the experience. Kaye’s charismatic stage presence makes this show feel like a rant to close friends; we can all attach portions of it to our own eccentric family members. At some points, Kaye could have worked with her more stripped-back, conversational side as her comedic timing is largely spot on.

As the show reaches its last third, Kaye slows down and delves into a more moving side of the story. Without this interlude, an otherwise bubbly and energetic performance may not have achieved the heights that it eventually reaches. It becomes a dedication to her parents, an acknowledgement of the feeling that drives so many of us: making our loved ones proud. But Charlene Kaye has swallowed the fact that sometimes making yourself proud is equally as crucial. 

Tiger Daughter Or: How I Brought My Immigrant Mother Ultimate Shame, Paradise In The Vault, until 25 August, 6.40pm.
