Bottom Surgery : Dunedin Fringe Festival

Presented by: Lily Catastrophe
From: Te Whanganui-a-Tara | Wellington
“So… can you have kids now?” Join award-winning international cabaret performer Lily Catastrophe in her debut solo production, Bottom Surgery, a semi-autobiographical variety show.
Enter Lily Catastrophe’s glitter-soaked world of boys’ schools and girl failures as she explains all the parts you didn’t want to know about The Surgery. This (mostly) one-woman show weaves together raunchy performance, outrageous storytelling, and confessional intimacy to invite audiences into Lily’s personal journey getting bottom surgery.
Through a variety format, Lily shares the wins, losses, and the plain confusing parts of trying to live as her authentic self. Bottom Surgery is part-memoir, part-plea for accessible trans healthcare in Aotearoa, and part-exuberant celebration of trans bodies on stage.
Witness Lily Catastrophe expose the complexities and challenges faced by trans individuals when seeking access to gender affirming surgery in a raucous cabaret evening dripping with attitude.
