Womanchild: WIP

7 Oct 2026

Womanchild: WIP

Anna Gray is not good at adulting. As a child, she thought she’d be a highly-successful married homeowner and international celebrity by 25. Now, aged 25, Anna sleeps through her alarms, can’t remember how to ride a bike, is scared of answering the phone and has to Google how to do her own laundry. 

Join Anna through heartbreak, hilarity, hospitalisation and - hopefully - happiness. If you’ve ever felt like you’re not a proper grown up, this is the show for you. 

An energetic, unpredictable work in progress show from the madcap mind of Anna Gray. Opener for Romesh Ranganathan, Queerovision Finalist 2026, Slap & Giggle Audience Favourite. As seen/heard on the BBC, Screen South and The Daily Mash.

Written and performed by Anna Gray
