Youngish Perspective
What if your anger just simmers underneath? If it never quite reaches boiling point, but it's present, burning your insides.
WINNER: Best Spoken Word & Storytelling Show
What The Fringe 2025

Combining spoken word, football chants, live art and theatre, Chat Sh*t, Get Hit dives into women’s anger: how it fuels, how it festers and how it is swallowed.

A funny and uncompromising show about recovery, solidarity and the suppression of women’s rage.
