Bottom Surgery

by Lily Catastrophe

“So... can you have kids now?”

Join burlesque artist and comedian Lily Catastrophe in a Christchurch season of her award-winning debut BOTTOM SURGERY, a semi-autobiographical variety show about trying to get bottom surgery in Aotearoa.

Enter Lily Catastrophe’s world of boys’ schools and girl failures as she explains all the parts you didn’t want to know about The Surgery through raunchy comedy, outrageous storytelling, and confessional intimacy to invite audiences into Lily’s personal journey.

Part-memoir and part-plea for accessible trans healthcare in Aotearoa, BOTTOM SURGERY is an exuberant celebration of trans bodies on stage that details the wins, losses, and the plain confusing parts of living as a transgender woman.
