Stephanie Hare: I Hope They Call Me Skinny in the Eulogy
29 October @ 9:45 pm - 10:30 pm AEDT

A darkly funny, and outrageously candid, hour of standup comedy that offers a timely interrogation of the societal obsession with physical appearance, the normalization of diet culture, and the expectations of normative femininity. Through a narrative based in the ending of a relationship, Steph questions what it means to be perceived as feminine in a society that so often equates feminine worth with physical desirability.
“Highly entertaining and utterly unique…. a journey to the unknown yet relatable”
