About Georgina Musgrave
Big Red is an alternative comedy and cabaret show written and performed by Georgina Musgrave. Musgrave plays Big Red — Queensland's terrifying, hilarious, disgusting, lesbian ex-wrestling sensation. This adopted Queenslander (via London) brings the pain, maim and brain to the stage in a show full of bloody delights, cutting insights and jokes that make you pause before you laugh. The Big Red persona is an exploratory vehicle for the all-too-true and vulnerable facts of queerness, sex and survival. The show runs for 60 minutes at Playground 3. Tickets start from £10. Age guidance: 18+.
