Tilted in association with Soho Theatre present:

Brown Girls Do It Too: Mama Told Me Not to Come Previews

Tue 10 – Sat 14 Jun 25 80 minutes
Guardian
Evening Standard
Stage
Fierce, funny and wonderfully frank, Poppy and Rubina have sex and they aren’t ashamed to talk about it.

Join them for these limited run WORK IN PROGRESS evenings as they try out some new sketches and ideas and ask for your input, ahead of their run at Soho Walthamstow in September.

 

Just like in their full length show, they’ll explore messy realities, heartbreak, fantasies, sexpectations and navigating life and relationships as British Asian women.

 

Bringing their trademark honesty, quick wit and infectious personalities to the stage, Poppy and Rubina reflect on what is means to be Brown British women and explore the seminal moments from their lives from first orgasms and loves to racism and family politics.

 

Their award-winning and groundbreaking BBC Sounds podcast Brown Girls Do It Too (‘Podcast of the Year’ 2020 and ‘Best Sex and Relationship Podcast’ 2023 at the British Podcast Awards, “Best Podcast’ Asian Media 2021), now in its 6th series, has amassed fans who love their honesty and openness (love a period sex sesh…anyone else?) and faced enormous backlash online for breaking the silence on sex in Asian communities.

 

‘Gasps of joy…  a show with a solid emotional and political core.’
Guardian

 

With songs, sketches and some very graphic content, this is a celebration of brown British women, genital warts and all.

Reviews
