Gag Reflex: A Scandalous Solo Show
Presented by Hugo Grrrl
Rachel Atlas has a complicated relationship with danger. From teenage stripper to sword swallower, from accidental dominatrix to knife-thrower’s assistant, she’s never been able to resist living on the edge. In this riotous tell-all debut solo show, expect to be thrilled by world-class stunts, raw humour and the heart-warming journey of a dangerous woman finally finding safety.
Rachel Atlas is an internationally renowned circus performer and a veteran of the vaudeville and Fringe Festival circuits the world over. Gag Reflex will be her first autobiographical work: lifting the curtain on her fascinating life of salacious sexual exploits, bad trips, worse men, and, of course, death-defying misadventures.
A thrilling, titillating, tear-jerking theatre full of world-class stunts and winner of the 2022 NZ Fringe Festival Best in Fringe Award, Gag Reflex is a heart-warming feminist story not to be missed!
“Atlas is a natural on stage and threw herself wholeheartedly into each scene.”
