A riotous comedy that airs fears about pregnancy, birthing and parenthood.
Part cookery show, gameshow, character comedy and nightmare In The Gut features dancing sperm, audience challenges, catchy music, grotesque imagery and moments of poignant pathos.
Les Femmes Ridicule disarm some of the taboos around pregnancy and parenting, playfully and poignantly exploring the blood, guts and darker aspects of this life changing phase in a hilarious and disarming way.
Don’t miss this ridiculous show for men and women with a sense of mischief.
Relaxed performance on Friday 26 October at 11am: Enjoy In The Gut in a more relaxed setting suitable for parents and children aged under 1 year.
