Millicent Sarre is Too Tired to Smash (Patriarchy)

Being a human in 2026 is exhausting. We're all a little burnt out, and in this fresh musical comedy, award-winning cabaret artist Millicent Sarre seeks to understand why. With unforgettable original music, powerhouse vocals and poignant social commentary, this Edinburgh Fringe premiere promises an hour-long antidote to our collective weariness.
