Kate-Lois Elliott: TRAD (Work in Progress)
Kate-Lois Elliott: TRAD (Work in Progress) at The Dragonfly Lounge, Colchester
About the show
Following on from a sell-out Edinburgh debut, Kate-Lois Elliott (British Writers' Guild Award Nominee, The Times Best Jokes Of The Fringe) is back. After a fertility-fuelled identity crisis led a newly-married Kate-Lois Elliott into a week-long TikTok Tradwife scrolling frenzy, she became obsessed with figuring out why she, a normal feminist person, had fallen down that seductive gingham-clad hole…
This is a show about the myth of trying to have it all, fertility, and the allure of ‘the good old days’ when they weren’t even that good, actually. … like what on earth is actually tapping into?
Picking apart stories from history and her own life - from Queen Victoria’s alleged sex mania to the real origin of “the average Joe,” to Elliott’s own deranged obsession with making it into the tabloids - expect trademark Zillennial musings, impromptu showtunes, and GCSE drama-level special effects.
