Bottom Surgery - Dunedin Fringe

So... can you have kids now?”

Join award-winning 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 burlesque, comedy, and maybe even a little contortion to invite audiences into Lily’s personal journey getting bottom surgery.

BOTTOM SURGERY is part-memoir, part-plea for accessible trans healthcare in Aotearoa, and part-exuberant celebration of trans bodies on stage, in a raucous cabaret evening dripping with attitude.
