...plus new dates for Ashley Blaker too
Sarah Keyworth has a new tour, talking about having top surgery to remove their breasts.
The comic previously discussed gender identity in the Radio 4 show Are You A Boy Or A Girl? and in the new tour they talk about how the world seems increasingly hard on gender non-conforming people.
Keyworth posted a picture of themselves post-surgery on social media in November, provoking an outpouring of congratulations from followers.
Their new show, My Eyes Are Up Here, also talks about turning 30 and being diagnosed with ADHD as well as speaking about going home for the first time post-surgery and asking: ‘What does acceptance look like?’ as well as ’Is it OK to dance around your family kitchen with your new nipples out?’
Keyworth has a run of the show at Soho Theatre starting next week, followed by a run at the Melbourne Comedy Festival in April and the Edinburgh Fringe in August – with the ensuing tour kicking off in Norwich on September 11.
