What gets you hot?
HOTTER is a pop-fuelled, lipsync-laced sweaty interrogation of sex, bodies, and queerness from best friends and ex-girlfriends Ell Potter and Mary Higgins.
Inspired by their own body shame, and all the silence around it, Ell and Mary interviewed over 50 women and non-binary people aged 11 to 97 what makes them sweat, flush, rub and gush. (OK, they didn’t ask the 11 year old exactly the same questions…)
“A FRINGE SENSATION”
- Lyn Gardner, The Stage
“The sweaty, brutally honest show about bodies”
- Kate Wyver, The Guardian
