A laugh-out-loud celebration of all things vulvacious

The vulvas go on a ‘Best-of’ tour, sharing their witty, clitty songs and humour as the most famous band no one has ever heard of. 

Lip Service 3: Live In Concert is the third installment of this duo’s journey towards empowerment and self-acceptance. They are older and wiser, but are they any closer to fame? When their world tour turns out to be yet another battle for the recognition they long for, these vulvas must choose whether or not to keep the dream alive. 

Lip Service 3 uses play and humour to invite the tragic to be comedic. This show will have you cry laughing at how far we’ve cum (and faked cumming) in the fight for reproductive rights and bodily autonomy for all. Praised for their physical comedy, Pulsive Party uses song, dance, and their signature campy humour to ignite conversations and share sexual health information. Join them for a night of original and parody hits alongside fan favourites of songs and moments from Lip Service 1 and 2, with live audio description.

Mature language, sexual content, haze, loud noises.
