WHY SHOULD FEMME NATALE RECEIVE SUPPORT? HERE ARE A FEW GOOD REASONS!
“Thoroughly enjoyed it” - Dame Kate Harcourt
“Hilariously X-rated” - Richard Mays - Stuff
"You'll still be laughing long after the show ends” - NZ Herald
“Fully evolved, clever – funny” - Pinky Agnew
“Everyone should see this show” - John Smythe Theatre Review
“Hilarious, human, viscerally resonant” - Adam Dodd Globe Theatre
“The harsh but funny take on everything from pregnancy, competitive parenting, breastfeeding through to sex after babies is certainly a laugh a second,
but still makes some poignant points”. Ilona Hanne - Herald Stratford Press
“Kudos to Pollock for creating cohesion amongst the chaos...Ultimately, Femme Natale is both a great night out and an important work. Giving parents the platform to access theatre in this manner is wonderful, and I hope the show is repeated on a regular basis.” Madeleine Empson - Regional News
“You HAVE to get this show to Edinburgh Fringe” - Someone’s Mum
A word from Tracey Savage - Performer with Femme Natale / Touring Producer Ed Fringe
"I haven't spent the last 6 months working on this opportunity for fun, I'm doing this because I believe in my colleagues and that they deserve this break. Plus this is a damn good show. If I wasn't in it, I'd be paying to see it! It's so very satisfying to make people laugh. And if we can share this to audiences at EdFringe as well as what we've shared in our cities and towns in NZ, how freaking fantastic that!"
A word from Director and Founder of Femme Natale Fingal Pollock!
"This show is good. It's really good! After five years of touring it around NZ, we are bringing it to the world. Help us bring Kiwi Comedy to the world!"
What this trip means for Jeremy Nelson - one of our beloved cast members!
This is a once in a lifetime opportunity to be a part of one of the biggest fringe festivals in the world. To be representing NZ at Edinburgh will be one of the highlights of my career.
Jeremy Nelson
A word from April Phillips on what attending Ed Fringe 2023 means to her!
"I'm involved in so many areas of the arts as a writer, performer, comedienne, theatre maker and filmmaker, so going to one of the greatest celebrations of art and culture on the planet could offer so many career enhancing opportunities, connections and inspiration. It's going to be a major highlight of my 30 year career." April Phillips
