Mythic mayhem, human clap-o-meters and audience power! Brace
yourselves for tales to make you rip up the rules and riot! Stand-up
tale-tellers slam down stories of super-women and unstoppable
goddesses stalking the world’s legends. Who will you crown Ultimate
WomanWhoGaveNoFcks?
Women around the globe are hitting the headlines standing up to abuse
of power, and calling out inequality. We began tweeting one another
the names and images of inspiring super-women who stalk through the
world’s myths and legends. Excited by what we found, we dug deeper.
Many were new to us – side-lined and almost forgotten. No longer!
From Magyar domestic warrior or Irish pirate queen, to naughty Greek
pig-wife belly goddess, Japanese Sun deity, or Sumerian sword-wielding
nemesis, we bring you myths and legends of females outgunning
adversity. Wielding wit, brains, cunning, courage, righteous rage and
the occasional superpower, these imperfect women embody what can be
achieved when we give absolutely no fucks. A celebratory, inspiring
night meant for men as much as women. Every night features guest
performers. No two nights the same!
