A scathing, hilarious satire on the monetization of identity politics which spares no one.
Usually disabled people want to do the right thing. But what if they don’t?
What if they were out to make as much money as possible from the guilt of non-disabled, anxious people (like you)?
Hot off the back of their smash-hit Edinburgh Fringe Festival and Soho Theatre NY runs, multi award-winning, disability-led theatre company FlawBored presents a scathing satire on the monetization of identity politics which spares no one and literally has audiences catching their breath between fits of laughter.

Flawbored
There shows all feature integrated, creative access through out and seek to create an environment where all audiences, regardless of impairments and disabilities are able to access the same show.
A FlawBored show is cheeky, chaotic and most importantly is not disability ‘trauma-porn’ or ‘pity-porn.’

★★★★
“Their pin-sharp show is overflowing with dark humour and righteous anger, but there’s no finger-waving. The perfect ally doesn’t exist – we’re all failing terribly, but acknowledging that is half the battle.”
— Fest Magazine

“A tsunami of satire”
