‘Why did I? Oh God, why did I?” We can all get embarrassed recalling our adolescent lives: Emily Wilson sings this great big cringe of a song to a backdrop of videos, images and social media output immortalising the naive enthusiasms of her teenage self. But worse, far worse, is to come. Wilson’s show is about starring on The X Factor in the US when she was 15. It did not go well. Then it did. Then it didn’t again. Teenage Emily was wrung out and tossed aside. Eleven years on, she’s here to face down those demons, armed only with archive footage, laughter and song.
