The set list

3 bits
  1. Watching all of straight pornography

    Observes how bizarre and ubiquitous step-family scenarios are in straight porn and relates it to strange DM requests asking her to shout out someone's stepmom at shows.

  2. Avocados, TikTok food culture, and grocery store produce patrol

    Rambles about the razor-thin window of avocado ripeness, failing at TikTok prep methods because community shoppers leave fingerprint bruises, and retaliating by following shoppers and crushing items in their carts.

  3. Losing mid-forties to COVID and entering menopause

    Laments missing her prime 'cougar' years during lockdown only to face hot flushes, night sweats, and developing a sudden reverence for mum linen pants and linen bedding.

How it plays

Cheeky, candid, deadpan, and unapologetic.
On stage
Deadpan delivery combined with cheeky wit, charismatic opinionation, and bold irreverence.
