Sonya Kelly puts a funny spin on her battles with bureaucracy to secure an Irish visa for her Australian girlfriend, writes Pádraic Killeen

HAVING scored a massive hit with her one-woman show, The Wheelchair on My Face, actress and comedian, Sonya Kelly (from The Savage Eye) returns to the stage on Thursday with more autobiographical theatre. The colourfully titled How to Keep an Alien, has its humorous side but the show is serious, too.

“Wheelchair was funny with sad bits,” says Kelly. “This one is funny with serious bits.”
