Bitter Baby

Bitter Baby is a darkly comic one-woman show about a university lecturer who receives anonymous messages threatening to expose her past in the adult industry. As she tries to hold her career and identity together, the pressure forces her to confront the impossible choices she's made to survive.

Based on true stories, the play explores immigration, class, neurodivergence, and the politics of sex work — with sharp humour, unflinching honesty, and a Rubik’s Cube.

Bitter Baby premieres at the 2025 Edinburgh Fringe and will tour London afterwards.
