Tough Titties
MANIFESTO
If you don’t like feminism… tough titties!
SYNOPSIS
Ever seen a 60-minute feminist comedy show that kicks the patriarchy in the d!ck? In Tough Titties, women and gender diverse performers show off their comedy chops in a series of short sketches. There’s something for the girls and the gays, the they’s and the slays. It’s a charcuterie board of comedy, if you will. It’s short, it’s sharp, and it’s not afraid to confront socially awkward truths.
ACTIVISM
This show lures the audience with the promise of convenient, easy laughs. But it ends up confronting the most difficult and unavoidable truths about our society: our patriarchal society breaks women down to their component parts and re-assembles them into an image that best generates profit.
RUN
Tough Titties ran for two sold-out seasons followed by a stint at Sydney World Pride 2023
