Every great superhero must start by saving herself. Join a geek girl on a quest to live her best nerd life. As a young nerd, Juliette loved to dress up, and she loved Rogue from the X-Men – funny, dark past, great costume. Now, decades later, she’s an award-winning comedian and mental health activist masked in glitter and sequins.
Join her on a journey from cosplay to confidence as Juliette asks "where does our power really lie? What can playing dress up reveal about ourselves? Can a superhero story help us rewrite our own?"
Expect gamification and introvert-friendly interactivity which evolves and mutates with every performance. SHORTLISTED FOR BEST NEW SHOW AT BRIGHTON FRINGE 2025.
