GRIEF-SEX-RACE, AUCKLAND FRINGE 2022: PANNZ TOURING AWARD WINNER

“Things In Common... We have Things In Common, so many Things In Common...
Unfortunate things In Common, like -”
— Sophie & Jess, Grief-Sex-Race

Guitar in hand, stand-up comedian Jess Karamjeet - a thirty-something, mixed-race, bisexual immigrant - navigates the awkward intersections of her identity while grieving her dear, departed dad.

Riding shotgun is Sophie Gibson, an NZ ON AIR funded singer/songwriter who lost her brother to suicide in 2015. With over 800K Spotify streams, Sophie 'breathes raw emotion into every note' and made the ever so logical side-step into stand-up comedy.

Because some say tragedy + time = comedy... and Grief-Sex-Race takes out the middle (wo)man. This taboo-busting, stereotype-subverting hour is a workout for your mind and your sides (you know, from all the laughter.)
