About Annie Davison
Annie Davison writes and performs BAIRNS at Bunker Three — a part stand-up, part theatre dramedy exploring sisterhood, selfishness and surrogacy. Lottie is twenty-something, has amounted to nothing, and having a belly buddy is sort of ruining her life. The show asks how far you'd go for your sibling. It is tender, funny and honest about difficult themes. The show runs 60 minutes, costs £9, and is suitable for ages 14 and over. Content warnings include distressing themes, strong language, and references to birth, vomit, blood and miscarriage.
Why see this show?
A wickedly funny and tender one-woman show that takes surrogacy and sisterhood seriously while keeping the comedy front and centre. The part stand-up, part theatre format makes it energetic and direct, and the content warnings signal it doesn't shy away from the messy bits.
