shell

Shell is an awe-inspiring solo show that cracks open questions about gender, anatomy, and desire, with the help of a sex-ed-obsessed hockey player and a powerful, otherworldly Peanut. Bold, strange and funny, Shell is returning from a five star run at the 2025 Edinburgh Fringe Festival, where The Scotsman noted it "among- if not top - the most unforgettable shows of this year's Edinburgh Fringe." Shell is equal parts interactive workshop, theatrical spectacle, and spiritual release. It’s drag. It’s clown. It’s queer sex education like you’ve never seen before.

We meet Andy: a lovable, cringe, and camp “hockey bro” who is starting a sex education club on his college campus to B(reak) R(eproductive) O(ppression). He's passionate, confused, and believes he can "CHANGE YOUR LIFE!" Peanut is full of power, pleasure and a slightly terrifying hunger for desire. Told through an interactive sex ed class, which involves audience members participating in activities and lessons, they dare you to name your desires, to feel your body, to awaken your spirit.

In this unapologetic queer celebration, full of surprise and transformation, Shell invites us to examine our relationship to the physical body, our understanding of it in a literal way, and then dare to dream of who we are outside the confines of our physical form.

Run Time: 60 minutes
