L.A. Baby by Ambrosine Davies
Her Dream turned into a nightmare when she was told to buy a gun.
The unbelievable truth of nearly a decade in LA from award-winning actor and comedian Ambrosine Davies (Funny or Die, The Inbetweeners) L.A. Baby is the darkly comedic story of Davies’ nine years in LA, caught in a cycle of cringeworthy auditions, balancing odd jobs and working as a nanny for an Orthodox family in the middle of the world’s most expensive divorce. Soon swapping comedy aspirations for hard won survival skills, Davies’ relationship at home escalates from toxic to terrifying. When stalking, death threats and the prospect of carrying a gun to school pick-ups become her only viable option, Davies realises her American Dream has become a life-threatening nightmare.
