Edinburgh Comedy Award Winner 2025
A glistening diamond hour of stand-up from delusional queer icon Sam Nicoresti about love, insanity, and the hunt for the perfect skirt suit. Following a critical maelstrom of success at the Edinburgh Fringe, and three weeks of sold-out performances at London’s Soho Theatre, Sam finally takes her breakout hit show Baby Doomer on tour.
From a sartorial emergency in a TK Maxx to the standing stones of Cornwall, through the seas of change, clothes and cats, Sam Nicoresti asks the vital question: does the perfect skirt suit exist?
Baby Doomer is the follow-up to the acclaimed Wokeflake. “One of the definitive documents of the trans experience in stand-up.” Chortle.
