DOUBLE BILL: Medieval Babes & What Adult Am I?
MEDIEVAL BABES and other bits n' bobs by Geet Northern
Geet Northern Show (think Graham Norton, but Northern ((and better)) is a night of collaborative creativity to showcase brand-new work from local artists. Join the cast as their live studio audience, clap, laugh and woop to show audiences at home how cool you are and how much fun you’re having! Safe in the hands of Geet and his pals in a cabaret of comedy, drag, poetry, drama, sketch, dance, song, medieval babes, pickle party’s, Bant and Dick are gay, drama, wigs, wonder and talent!
Playing Geet Northern, the host himself, is Writer, Creator, Director, Performer and Producer, Rhian Jade, (Big Gay Cabaret, Geet Northern Theatre, Contains Strong Language Festival, BBC, SoreSlap). With the core cast of close friends featuring the talented, Meena Al-Nawrasay (Peter Pan and Wendy at Gala Durham, Neon Brown at Alphabetti Theatre, Lasses Show, Live Theatre, Big Gay Cabaret, Geet Northern). And hilarious, Harrison Rowley-Lynn (Big Gay Cabaret, Newcastle Fringe, Night Classes with Unfolding Theatre, Soap Box Racer).
The three come together to create a show that is nothing short of comedy, madness and safety with an all woman and trans+ cast, it’s a riot for all who are passionate about inclusivity and intersectionality.
What Adult Am I?
What Adult Am I? is an episodic, surreal and interruptive work in progress led by Alicia Meehan in collaboration with Rose Lewis, Emma Crawley-Bennett and Becky Glendenning-Laycock. Exploring adulthood through the lenses of pop culture, queerness and societal conditioning, the work blends humour, confessional storytelling, movement and lived experience to examine belonging, invisibility, compartmentalisation and the social scripts we inherit. Centring lesbian and queer narratives, it challenges conventional representations of adulthood and questions who we are expected to become.
