A show about the mind. An hour of surreal stand-up entwined with one of Shetland's most famous folktales; The Selkie Story. A tale about a magical seal-human hybrid, a selkie-woman; who without her skin, cannot return to the sea and has to take shelter with a fisherman. Marj interweaves this story with that of Marjolein's life. Providing a base for the narrative and a metaphor for the grittier parts of Marjolein's own story. A journey of abuse, realisation and recovery.

‘Impish... upbeat, able to mine an everyday observation to almost absurdist lengths’
The List
'The light and shade that she blended and captivated the audience with was spellbinding, there were times when the club roared with laughter, other occasions you could have heard a pin drop'
Quintessential Review
‘A fine mix of surreal storytelling whimsy, winsome silliness and scatological filth’
