About Ryan Stewart
KINDER is a theatre and drag show by Ryan Stewart, performing at Big Belly at the Edinburgh Festival Fringe. Drag artist Goody Prostate arrives to headline a library reading hour, only for an unexpected call to derail the planned performance entirely. Racing against the clock to put together a new act in real time, Goody spirals into a chaotic interrogation of childhood, memory and what it means to grow up. The show runs 60 minutes and carries an age guidance of 16 and over. Content warnings include audience participation, distressing themes, strong language, occasional mild sexual references, and references to homophobia and queerphobia.
Why see this show?
A drag show that turns a library reading hour into something far more unruly and genuinely affecting — KINDER uses comedy and chaos to ask serious questions about growing up and identity. Intimate, inventive, and 60 minutes well spent at Big Belly.
