Description

Can one women single-handedly smash the hetero-patriarchy?

Well, maybe with a little help from the audience. A queer, feminist and irreverent exploration of contemporary society. Expect sketch comedy, spoken word, audience interaction. Annabelszki returns after her 2018 show 'Professional Breakup Artist'.

A one-woman feminist cabaret which features material about the female beauty myth, body hair, menstruation, patriarchy smashing, the gender pay gap, male violence against women and challenging heteronormativity.

Using a backdrop of images, music, props and two-hander sketches, Annabelszki invites the audience to gaze through an alternative lens upon an irreverent journey through life in a patriarchal society.


Annabelszki is a Brighton-based writer and performance artist who delivers a fusion of spoken word, stand-up, sketch comedy, improv and cabaret. She tears down the fourth wall and embraces the audience's ideas, which are used as ideas in spoken word pieces, as well as audience members being invited up on the stage, as part of sketches. Her work is political and feminist, taken from a lesbian perspective.

An outrageous contribution to stand-up comedy.

Audience Comments

Utter labia power. Annabelszki delivers a stonking feminist punch to the patriarchy.
- (Beverley Barstow - Women's Equality Party, Brighton Branch Leader)

"An astonishing subversive lecture presenting the essential points of gender oppression in a Brechtian/satirical style."

Description

The Brunswick has been transformed through an extensive refurbishment programme to become the premier music and arts venue in Hove. The owners are committed to providing quality, value for money and a friendly atmosphere.We believe that a pub is an essential part of any thriving community, and should be seen as a facility for the whole community. By encouraging local groups, we run a range of classes: acting, singing, painting, language, wine tasting; and have become a meeting place for a number of groups. With a large garden and a number of meeting rooms, we can offer space for most clubs, societies or social groups. If your looking for somewhere to host your book group, yoga class, dance class, debating club, and so on, give us a call, or better still, pop in. Support your local pub.

Built in the 1930’s, The Brunswick is a striking building with curved bays, turret roofs and brass crittall style windows. Much of the original paneling (the same as used in the Orient Express) has been rescued and restored, particularly in The Venue. Atmosphere and mood change as you move from the beautifully constructed sunny garden through the airy garden room to the bar (a fusion of the best of modern bar and traditional pub). Despite the high-tech sound and stage equipment, the music and arts Venue with its wood paneling, period lighting and fireplace retains a wonderfully cozy feel. Upstairs we have beautifully decorated rooms for meetings and private parties – see Function Room Hire

We offer a broad range of home cooked food every day. Accolades have included “Restaurant quality food at pub prices”; “The best Sunday Lunch in Brighton”; “As an American, I’m very critical of hamburgers – this is one of the best I’ve had anywhere.”
