I Need to Cher 2018 - 2021


I Need to Cher was the world’s only immersive Cher-themed informative feminist cabaret night. Using interactive activities; feminist performance; and informative presentations - a menagerie of Chers take the audience through a journey that spans Cher's six decade influence on popular culture. Voted Time Out's 6th best night out in London.


The show is DIY, unashamed in its love and passion for Cher and what she stands for as a feminist hero. The first instalment included the audience mounting men dressed as cannons; a twitter response from Cher herself and a two week Cher-induced high for all those in attendance.   


Expect the ghost of Sonny Bono, five star drag and interpretive horse dance. All attendees will graduate the night with a level 3 qualification in Cher and a dance party (55% Cher).I Need to Cher has sold out every show it has done so far and is open to absolutely everyone who needs to Cher.  


Now on maternity leave indefinitely - I Need to Cher was the best thing I have ever made & Cher herself tweeted that she acknowledged our existence. Created in conjunction with the likes of Rebecca Biscuit, Vijay Patel, Ray Filar & Tizzy Von Tassel.

Mummy Vs 2020 - 2023

Heather's solo show Mummy Vs is about her experiences of becoming a parent, post natal depression & losing your identity. It toured to  Stanley Arts, the Pleasance, Vaults Festival, AAC in Leicester, Brighton Old Market & Norwich Arts Centre.


There's a lot more that can be said about it but it was a show that involved 40 people, survived a pandemic, the growth & birth of my second child & allowed me to feel my producer oats.


Particular thanks to the people who made it possible Rebecca Biscuit, Jen Smethurst, Martin Crozer,  Claudia Agati, Gaze Magazine, Jen Offord, AAC & the brilliant wrestlers who helped me along the way.
