Australian performer Lucy Peach is set to bring her unique brand of comedy to Aberdeen’s Lemon Tree on July 29 and 30, promising to inspire, educate and entertain in equal measure with her show, My Greatest Period Ever.
Lucy combines her experience as a folk singer, Human Biology teacher and Sexual Health Educator to ‘edutain’ one and all about the four hormonal phases of the menstrual cycle. Hilarious, heartfelt and always informative, the exultant folk-pop wunderkind is joined by her husband Richard who creates live illustrations to bring her menstrual messages to life.
The show is part of Aberdeen Performing Arts’ inaugural International Season, which will introduce fresh, engaging, and exciting work to audiences in Aberdeen this June, July and September, with some of the most innovative and cutting-edge performers from around the world in the line-up.
Aberdeen Performing Arts Chief Executive, Sharon Burgess, said: “"My Greatest Period Ever" is more than a performance; it’s an educational and transformative experience. Lucy has a unique ability to make every audience member feel special. She creates a safe and joyful space, addressing a topic that affects every woman while making it accessible and enjoyable for all, offering laughter, learning, and a sense of community.
“Our International Season will allow us to explore what the world has to offer right here in Aberdeen, the aim being to bring fresh, engaging, and exciting work to our audiences. Lucy fits the bill perfectly."
Lucy Peach said: “"I'm absolutely bloody thrilled to be connecting with the community in Aberdeen and I can't wait to sing for you with my menstrual doodling husband, doing what we love the most - bringing power to periods. See you soon!"
