It’s the season of cutting carbs, hitting it hard at the Shaving? Tanning? Over-exercising? Cabbage-souping? Starving? Don’t bother, we’re not. Grab your pals and your biscuits and watch Beach Body Ready! It’s the season of cutting carbs, hitting it hard at the gym, and shaving everything from the chin down. Summer has rocked up and the media has us thinking about how our bodies aren’t up to scratch and there are companies ready to capitalise on that. We’ve been shamed, dehumanised, and humiliated for how we look and we’ve had enough. Join The Roaring Girls for a defiantly feel-good show which sticks two fingers up at how the media says you should look. The Roaring Girls are getting Beach Body Ready. Are you? Please note, this performance will take place at St Catherine’s Church, located opposite Ventnor Exchange, to accommodate social distancing. “Engaging, funny and inclusive” – The Guardian

If you want to be a ‘successful independent woman person’ you better have something you want to say and you better be wearing a Serious Black Jumper™. In this 5-star show, Jayde (as seen hosting Channel 4’s Snackmasters & Crazy Delicious) will rifle through all the noise and self-promotion and figure out what’s actually going on. “she delivers a show that unites the political with the personal in a way that many comics aim for, but few pull off with this sort of aplomb.” ★★★★ (The Times)
