About Melissa Carter
Melissa Carter presents B*tch Eat Dog at the Jade Studio — a puppet-filled sketch show that uses classical texts, feminist theory and physical comedy to interrogate the gendered ethics of pursuit. The 50-minute show includes a gender-swapped adaptation of Moby Dick, a tradwife character hawking questionable wares, and a well-intentioned white male host whose misguided attempts at allyship lead to a painful realisation. The show contains scenes of a sexual nature, strong language, and strobe lighting. It is for audiences aged 16 and over and tickets start from £12.
Why see this show?
Puppets, classical texts and feminist theory combine in a sketch show that is as intellectually curious as it is chaotic. Melissa Carter has built something genuinely strange and provocative — not one to see if you prefer your Fringe comfortable.
