Mish Wittrup’s latest show Not As Good As I Remember pulls directly from her childhood diaries; reading entries from the pivotal ages of 11 to 13, and bringing them to life on stage.
Moving between past and present, Mish unpacks why she’s gone back to these entries, weaving in recent moments from her life along the way. From first crushes and early experiences of love to the movies she was watching and the things her mum said that made her a ‘bitch’, she reflects on how much has changed – and whether she’s lived up to her own expectations.
The show is raw, honest, truthful and moving. It’s not quite a breakup show, but it doesn’t avoid those moments either. Instead, it sits in that space of reflection – looking back at who you were, who you are now, and how the two don’t always have to line up.
