Following two successful specials and a US tour, how does a black queer woman who never felt truly a part of her country grapple with its certain demise?

Through contemplation, analysis and harsh critique.

Sam Jay’s “We The People” was nominated for Best Comedy Show at Edinburgh Fringe Festival 2025, and won the 2025 Uprise Award, which recognizes shows that dare to provoke, disrupt and reframe discussions.

This show has now passed, but we have a full festival programme of comedy, theatre and cabaret throughout the year. Check out what's on now to find more great shows coming up.
