Juliette Burton: Villain Era

Presented by Chuckle Busters

As the sun sets, a new antihero awakens. Calling all big-hearted heroes! Award-winning comedian Juliette Burton is summoning YOU.

Join the dark side in a comedy quest for grown-up geeks and justice-hungry joy seekers ready to battle the REAL dragons: inequality and bad sex lives. It’s time to iron out the kinks! Burton brings armour made of hard truths, high fantasy and hilarious punchlines. Live nerdgasms possible.

Former ‘good girl’ Juliette Burton enters her Villain Era, with a fast-paced solo hour about fictional villainous women who taught her to be a straight up baddie and why women are done being nice.

Comic book characters, book babes, gamer gals, franchise femmes, and gallivanting goddesses help Juliette shake free from the shackles of gender expectation in a silly, sexy, nerdy hour of comedy.

When good girls go bad, prepare to be dominated.
