Cassie Workman is probably the most experienced newcomer to comedy in the country, owing to the fact that she previously performed under another name. She has recently returned to the stage after her transition, and is making waves.
Created by the multi-award-winning comedian Cassie Workman, Giantess is a story of self-acceptance. Interweaving music, comedy, storytelling and illustration, Cassie’s one-person-show explores the anguish of coming to terms with a gender identity that doesn’t match your body.
After being abducted by a troll, a girl must realise her destiny, and escape. What lies beyond his kingdom is a mystery, so she will need the strength of a giantess.
‘a compelling storyteller…heart-wrenching and revelatory, charming and funny, proud but self-effacing.’★★★★ Chortle
