Lasses X The Girlie Show

Rosy Cheek Productions and The Girlie Show Comedy Present

Lasses X The Girlie Show

Welcome to Lasses X The Girlie Show, the only comedy cabaret clinically proven to make you hotter, richer and relieve heartburn (results may vary).

The Lasses and the Girlies are uniting for the ultimate iconic collaboration for Unearthed Festival! Join your hosts Hendrika Seguro-Bigg and Rosie Bowden for a variety of stand-up, sketches, musical comedy and more from the NE's most outrageous women and enbys. Throw in a local choir and a community meal and it’s a wholesome vibe.

The amazing line-up joining Rosie and Hendrika include: Lauren Pattison, Becky Clayburn, Ella McFetrich, Maya Torres, Nat Young, Triangle, The Muses and local choir, The Girls, Theys and Slays.

So, round up the group chat, cut the tags off that new top and join us for a very silly night out. We are changing the narrative with a sprinkling of joy and if I know you, you probably don’t want to miss it.

The evening will run as follows:
Girl Dinner (Community meal) - 6.30pm in the Live Theatre undercroft

Come and fill your plate from 6.30pm with any dishes you would like to add to the spread. If you are making food, please don't include nuts and bring a list of ingredients included. No stress if you can't bring a dish, you can still join and nibble!
