Wonderful Wednesdays – Katy Baird: Get Off

October 30, 2024

Pay what you can afford.
Doors open 7.30pm, show starts 8pm.
This show is for a seated audience.

The human brain registers all pleasures in a similar way – be it a delicious meal, a glass of wine, a recreational substance or those little hearts on Instagram but – are all pleasures equal?

In her quest for answers, dedicated pleasure seeker and all-round hot mess, Katy Baird, has spent the last decade documenting the highs and lows of what we do to switch off. From the mundane to the extraordinary, this illuminating performance will take a closer look at the ways we consume our spare time and the impact it has on our lives.

Blending immersive projection and a banging soundtrack with Katy’s trademark brutal honesty, Get Off takes you to the depths of our desire for pleasure and ask how much autonomy do we have in where we seek it?

“Baird has the true performer’s knack of making everyone feel welcome…This is smart, accessible performance art from a writer-performer with buckets of charm.” – Lauren Mooney writing in The Stage

“This is an artist that boldly and sharply reflects on questions of class and identity politics, teasing what the autobiographical might be on stage whilst very much engaged with the register of performance.” – Diana Damian Martin writing in Exeunt
