About Olivia Xing
Olivia Xing: Baby of Colour is a solo stand-up comedy show performed by Olivia Xing at Nook on the Edinburgh Festival Fringe. Olivia won't give birth to anything but a new comedy movement — one where reproductive anxiety, political depression and Chinese daughterhood are somehow cured. After deciding to get an IUD, the surreal gynaecologist visits that follow become a meditation about identity, autonomy and what it means to create as a woman, alien and stand-up comedian. The show runs 60 minutes and is suitable for audiences aged 12 and over. Audience participation and strong language are listed as content notes.
Why see this show?
A surreal, sharp and politically alive solo stand-up that tackles reproductive anxiety, identity and the current moment with wit and genuine originality. An ambitious debut that goes somewhere unexpected.
