Critic's Choice Award 2024

Social Calendar Girl (Morecambe Fringe)

Glance at Angela Bra's Social Media and they are busy busy busy and deservedly so. This new show is part sex ed talk, game show, comedy and song parodies via Adele and Kylie, seamlessly blended together. Audience participation, which is essential, is handled expertly despite the early time slot. Having seen previous shows this one builds on them. Angela Bra just gets better and better...go see this.

Christian Ainscough 5/5

Social Calendar Girl (Carnforth Fringe)

A sex education lesson for adults through the media of spoken word and song. I loved the show. The audience quickly availed itself of the opportunity to sing along with some shamelessly reworked popular hits with Angela Bra’s edgy amendments. Lots of laugh out loud moments – I wish my Sex Ed had been this funny.

Review from Buxton Fringe

Review from Buxton Fringe

Musical comedy drag queen Angela Bra (pronounced to rhyme with candelabra) is also a primary school music teacher so it’s no surprise that her new show Social Calendar Girl, delivered as a Sex & Relationship Education special lesson, feels so particularly assured.

Angela had us in the palm of her hand (she would probably find an innuendo in that) as she guided us through an authoritative PowerPoint presentation under three headings - Hatches (when we come out of our shells), Matches and Dispatches with topics including gender reveal parties, hen nights and the dangerous side effects of cocktails.

There were plenty of Angela’s bawdy trademark songs like her version of Adele’s Hello ('Hello from the park and ride') plus enjoyable audience participation through singalongs and games such as Snatch Phrase, her variation on the popular TV game. Some of the content was X-rated but never nasty and there was smut-free fun to be had with her lesson on what to say and what not to say to people as they reached landmark ages right up to 90.

Throughout it all, Angela had a great rapport with the audience indulging in some clever banter whether it was asking a guy from Northern Ireland whether he 'went down south regularly' or gee-ing us up to play a betting game, 'Cool or bald?', in reference to a man with a hat on.

Performing on Carnival night is always something of a risk but I like to think that we proved lively but not detention-worthy as an audience. After a polished performance, Angela finished off by taking a selfie with us (which she told me not to mention, so actually that is me in detention) and a fond invitation for us to follow her online or 'in a dark alley'. I would go further to say you that if you are not too easily shocked and in the market for a fun night out, you should try and catch the second performance of this polished show (on July 19th) and/or her post-pub crawl adventure with Annie Sup on July 20th.
