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

BACK DUE TO POPULAR DEMAND and now at the iconic new venue, Soho Theatre Walthamstow.

Fierce, funny, and hilariously frank, Poppy and Rubina aren’t afraid to tackle the burning issues (literally – looking at you, Jolen bleach) of being a woman.

In this laugh-out-loud, moving show, they dive into the messy realities of life: heartbreak, fantasies, sexpectations, culture clashes, female empowerment, families (mums feature heavily, funnily enough), role models, social media, and smashing taboos.

With their trademark honesty, wit, and infectious energy, Poppy and Rubina reflect on what it means to be Brown British women and explore seminal moments in their lives from first orgasms and loves to racism and intergenerational trauma.

Their award-winning, groundbreaking BBC Sounds podcast Brown Girls Do It Too (‘Podcast of the Year’ 2020 and ‘Best Sex and Relationship Podcast’ 2023 at the British Podcast Awards, and ‘Best Podcast’ at the Asian Media Awards 2021) built a huge following of fans who loved their honesty and openness — and faced enormous backlash online for breaking the silence on sex in Asian communities when it first aired.

With songs, sketches, and some very graphic content, this is a wild, unapologetic celebration of Brown British womanhood – genital warts and all.
