Get ready to step into the fabulously chaotic world of Mina, a spirited young Turkish woman on a wild quest to find the one thing missing in her life: an orgasm.
Mina needs your support, just as Tinkerbell needs attention! So snap your fingers and get ready for a wild ride.
Have you ever felt like your life was being controlled by your vagina rather than your heart or brain? Mina’s vagina is a true fashion statement – more significant, better, and bolder. As she says, “If you’re funny enough, you can say anything. And when you’re a ‘pretty 5’1″ girl with big breasts’, you can really say whatever you want.” Careful, Mina, it’s a blurry line between being socially acceptable and unhinged.
Finding the Big O
Will Mina finally find the Big O? Or will her obsessive search be her undoing? Loneliness lies under the inability to orgasm with a partner, and Mina’s desperate search leads her through a series of comedic escapades that will have you laughing and awing.
Join Mina on her uproarious journey filled with hysterical misadventures, deep introspection, and jaw-dropping revelations about life, love and identity. If it wasn’t for her fabulous gay best friend, would Mina even still believe in men? Unfortunately, Yaaaaaaaaas!
Tales of Mina’s sex life
This show is rooted in the actual, outrageous tales of co-writer/co-performer Mina’s sex life. In Mina’s words: “This show only covers about 10% of my sex life…” We don’t want to even imagine what the other 90% could be! Get ready for a vibrant soundtrack that will make you want to dance, surreal multi-media CGI projections that will dazzle your senses, a live drag queen who will slay the stage, and constant fourth wall breaking that will make you feel like part of the action and all of Mina’s poor decisions.
A camp extravaganza that promises to be the most authentic show you’ll see this year.
The Little Death
Now, why has this girl Mina only talked about herself thus far? Well, comedians really just talk about their own personal experiences in an exaggerated way. They pull from real-life stories. Women naturally have a vigorous ability to tell stories. When you ask a man, “How was the date?” He’ll say “good” or “bad”, but when you ask a woman, she will give you every intricate detail, causing you to feel as if you have been on the date yourself, thus making it more relatable. The vulnerability female comedians bring to the table makes them stand out.
A journey of self discovery
Mina reflects, “I realize now that I was raised to be blunt because God forbid a Middle Eastern person bottles up their emotions; we will explode like the terrorists that we are. However, I have had the privilege of living abroad on and off for over a decade, which made me very easy-going about topics around sexuality as it is in Western societies compared to the East. The perfect combination of a strident Middle Eastern individual and a liberal Western woman.
“This has built me into a woman who is very tough-skinned and with an aggressive personality – I feel like I was taught that if I am a sexually open woman, I would have to be strong enough to take all the bullying that accompanied it. Therefore, I suppressed myself emotionally to handle all the outside commotion. But who says you can’t be a slut and a sweetheart at the same time? Successful comedy comes from shared vulnerability, and female comedians achieve this to a great extent.”
The Little Death is an electrifying celebration of resilience, shamelessness, and the universal quest for fulfilment.
But amidst all the glitz and glamour, The Little Death also dives deep into the heart of what it means to be human. Mina’s journey of self-discovery brings poignant reflections on love, loneliness, and the human condition.
It reminds us that even in the pursuit of pleasure, we all crave connection and understanding. We wish this show had fashion malfunctions, but it’s more about romantic ones instead.
For a night of psychotic glamour, fabulous fun, and heartfelt sadness come see The Little Death at The King’s Head Theatre.
The Little Death runs from 26 – 31 August, 2024, at King’s Head Theatre, Islington Square, 116 Upper Street, The Angel, London N1 1AB, United Kingdom.
