Description

Sex. Love. Lettuce. Join gorgeous clown Trash Salad after a sell-out 2022 run, on her quest for connection: a genre-bending burlesque adventure, using lip sync, strip tease and song on a mission to understand intimacy. Some call it a clown opera, a sexual odyssey, a compost-heap romance. Trash calls it a joyful queer-femme love story in the shape of a salad. Come and see the piece that's made audiences 'laugh, cry, and nearly piss'. Birthed by VAULT Festival Innovation Award nominee Rosa Garland. 'A queer masterpiece' **** (EdFringeReview.com). 'Best shows of Fringe 2022' **** (Telegraph).

Impressive clowning delivered with urgency and wit. It was a real pleasure watching the boundaries break down between the performance and its comically rowdy audience. We had a blast and would recommend the show to anyone who isn't likely to be offended by trash, salad or their human embodiment.

7/10.

The Telegraph (4/5 stars) 43 days ago

Outlandish clowning, more silly than sexy, blending eroticism with disgust.
