My Stories, Your Emails
Written and performed by Ursula Martinez | 2009
With her true stories and some unbelievable emails, Martinez invites you to meet the ordinary and extraordinary characters in her life and in her inbox.
My Stories Your Emails combines spoken word, live art, character comedy and stand-up. The result is a comical and uncompromising exploration of identity, fame, obsession, censorship, loneliness, sex, human failure, the internet ….and what happens when your private parts go public!
Written and performed by Ursula Martinez
Directed by Mark Whitelaw
Commissioned by Barbicanbite 10 (London) and QueerUpNorth International Festival (Manchester).

It’s a clever show… a cunning exploration of identity, intimacy and fantasy.
★★★★½ The Age
…an utterly riveting, compellingly uncompromising show that is highly recommended.
Manchester Evening News
…a big star in the making.
The Daily Telegraph
My Stories, Your Emails is a consistently hilarious exploration of the gap between her idea of herself and those projected on to her. The show feels like a reclamation. It’s also very very funny.
The Australian
The work’s construction is as clever as the writing. Martinez always manages to deliver more than she promises… which is, perhaps, why she’s well worth stalking.
