Fishwives

Step right up for FISHWIVES—a riotous comedy cabaret that’s smutty, feminist, historical, and absolutely hysterical! 😄

If Chaucer had a potty-mouthed sister with a vendetta against the patriarchy, this is the show she’d have crafted. Written in verse with the gleeful irreverence found in Roald Dahl’s Revolting Rhymes, Fishwives catapults the forgotten heroines of history onto center stage—louder, looser, and far less ladylike than you remember! 🎉

Crafted and performed by the talented comedy poet Abi Unwin-Smith (RCSSD), who boasts a decade of live mischief, this anarchic hour fuses poetry, storytelling, and movement with the high-energy chaos reminiscent of vaudeville. Expect stripping suffragettes, scandalous monarchs, and the occasional persecuted pudenda—no petticoat will remain unruffled! 😏

After ten years touring the UK and Australian comedy and poetry circuits, Fishwives emerges as a full-throttle show: a bawdy blend of brains, bosoms, and belly laughs. In a time when women’s rights are still on shaky ground, this show wields laughter as both a weapon and a salve. ✊

So gird your loins, ladies and gents! These lusty bawds have stories to share—and it’s about bloody time we listened! 🎤✨
