Leila Navabi: Relay

Wed 11 – Sat 14 Mar 26 60 minutes

Fest
A bold, joyful punk-musical show about making a queer family on your own terms.
‘A delightful and comic meditation on what it means to be a family… It’s impossible not to fall for Leila’s story’
Stage
‘A heartfelt story about dreams, hope and the importance of chosen family… deeply honest and personal’
Nation Cymru

Relay blends stand-up, electro-pop musical numbers and hand-drawn animation into a heartfelt, hilarious hour about what it takes to start a family when the odds (and the system) are stacked against you.

Leila dives into the wild ride of making a baby at home with her partner, a best mate as the sperm donor, and, naturally, his boyfriend cheering from the sidelines.

Navabi unpacks love, ambition, and the chaos of building a family on her own terms. Equal parts absurd and profound, Relay is proof that family is not just what you make it, but how.

Reviews

'Smart and sharp punk musical comedy... Navabi handles the warmth with care... Relay leaves us with hope in the enduring generosity and support of our loved ones'
Fest
'What is perhaps Navabi’s greatest talent, aside from her clean, high vocals and her whip-like wit, is her ability to put an audience at ease'
Skinny
'The audience was lit up with smiling, teary faces'
