Well, maybe with a little help from the audience. A queer, feminist and irreverent exploration of contemporary society. Expect sketch comedy, spoken word, audience interaction. Annabelszki returns after her 2018 show ‘Professional Breakup Artist’.
A one-woman feminist cabaret which features material about the female beauty myth, body hair, menstruation, patriarchy smashing, the gender pay gap, male violence against women and challenging heteronormativity.
Using a backdrop of images, music, props and two-hander sketches, Annabelszki invites the audience to gaze through an alternative lens upon an irreverent journey through life in a patriarchal society.
Annabelszki is a Brighton-based writer and performance artist who delivers a fusion of spoken word, stand-up, sketch comedy, improv and cabaret. She tears down the fourth wall and embraces the audience’s ideas, which are used as ideas in spoken word pieces, as well as audience members being invited up on the stage, as part of sketches. Her work is political and feminist, taken from a lesbian perspective.
“An outrageous contribution to stand-up comedy.”

Audience Comments
“Utter labia power. Annabelszki delivers a stonking feminist punch to the patriarchy.”
– (Beverley Barstow – Women’s Equality Party, Brighton Branch Leader)
“An astonishing subversive lecture presenting the essential points of gender oppression in a Brechtian/satirical style.”
