Winsie Chen: I'm Not A Feminist - Part 2
After 3 sold-out previews and a successful run at Edinburgh Fringe, I’m Not a Feminist - Part 2 is back in London.
Chinese ex-banker turned tech-burnout Winsie Chen spirals through feminism, fertility and failure in a stand-up hour that’s painfully funny, emotionally sharp and politically adjacent. There’s a clit-sucker in her London flat, frozen eggs in Spain, and a Chinese father who thinks affection is a Western weakness. Raised under communist propaganda, now drowning in girlboss slogans, Winsie questions who modern empowerment is really for. If your uterus is organised but your life is not, you’ll feel weirdly seen.

“Really strong hour and what felt like a fresh voice for the Fringe.” – Will (audience)
