Date and Time
Sun 06 July @ 4:45pm in Squeak, TWFringe
Join award-winning comedian and storyteller Kate-Lois Elliott as she tests out brand new ideas for her next show. At 35, she’s found herself somewhere she never expected—married. But what does that even mean in 2025? From the nostalgia-fuelled return to homemaking to the quiet exhaustion of modern womanhood, this show asks: why are we so drawn to outdated ideals?
Whether it’s Queen Victoria’s lethal plumbing, caveman etiquette, or fantasies of ditching the rat race to join a commune, Kate uses sharp humour and storytelling to unpack the contradictions of modern life and the pressure to do it all (and enjoy it). This is a show for anyone who's ever wondered whether to lean in, burn it all down, or just take up cross-stitch and see what happen.
