Comedian. Trans woman. Voice of a generation.
After a slew of award wins, nominations and five-star reviews, Anna Piper Scott has earned herself the title of Australia's most acclaimed independent comedian. Now she's making her UK debut with her most controversial show. A show that draws from Hannah Gadsby, Dave Chappelle and court jesters, all to ask one question – how do you be funny without being stuck as the punchline?
