Brown Girls Do It Too: Mama Told Me Not To Come

Saturday 12th November

Created by and starring Poppy Jay and Rubina Pabani 

 

Fierce, funny, and wonderfully frank, Poppy and Rubina have sex and they aren’t ashamed to talk about it. Their critically acclaimed podcast Brown Girls Do It Too (‘Best Podcast of the Year’ British Podcast Awards 2020, Asian Media 2021), explores messy realities, fantasies, and navigating life and relationships as British Asian women.

Two seasons in, they have amassed fans who love their honesty and openness and faced enormous backlash online for breaking the silence on sex in Asian communities.

Bringing their characteristic candour, quick wit and infectious personalities to the stage, Poppy and Rubina reflect on the seminal moments from their lives from first orgasms and loves, to racism and family politics. Expect songs, sketches, and some very graphic content!
