We all have a crazy ex, right?
Well, she's here. Tonight.
Dogged, drunk and self-destructing, she's declaring open war at an open mic.
And she has a lot to say.
Don't they fucking all?
All bark and all bite, BITCH is an explosion of theatrical chaos that combines cabaret, stand-up and drag. An award-winning performance that “will likely emotionally eviscerate you”, BITCH asks with razor-sharp honesty, toxic comedianity and filthy original songs: do bad people make bad things happen, or vice versa?
