WHERE THERE’S MUCK, THERE’S BRAS
Where there’s Muck, There’s Bras is a hilarious and thought-provoking show which sees me and actor Joey Holden explore the Northern women you’ve heard of (and the ones you haven’t).
This funny performance lecture uncovers the hidden history of the writers, scientists, sportswomen, politicians, protestors, musicians and other heroines who make up a far more diverse North than we usually see.
