Release yourself from the capitalistic machine that Christmas has become and enjoy a wild, hilarious holiday season celebration.

A family of queers, rebels and runaways serving post-punk and anti-capitalist realness, this is an epic Grinchian party like no other. It’s time to flip four calling birds to secular traditions and embrace the festive chaos with F Christmas. 

Fat Fruit (Sarah Ward & Bec Matthews, F Fabulous) and Susie Dee invite you to kick back for a yuletide variety show that agitates the holiday season. Somewhere between a hallucinogenic, camp Christmas fantasy and a perverse, apocalyptic nightmare, F Christmas unwraps our toxic secular addictions and makes room for alternative celebrations.  

Welcome to F Christmas – at last a holiday experience that truly sleighs.

CONTENT NOTES

This production contains nipples, bare bums, full frontal nudity and may contain the rare sighting of pubic hair. There will be non-gratuitous swearing and adult themes like holding cognitive dissonance as the whole world collapses around us. There will be sexual references and unapologetic queers. Expect some haze, possible fast moving lights, loud noises and loud opinions. This production explores themes around Christianity and capitalism through satire and is more interested in questioning the relevance of SC than JC. We are in the business of punching up, so if you're in a place of privilege, cushion yourself with a sense of humour. 

Please note, this work is in development and detailed content information will be available closer to the performance season. Please check back closer to the time of performance for an updated list of potentially sensitive content.
