Alex Franklin: Girl Code (WIP)

In 2024, trans-girl Alex feels the most alive she's ever felt; now she wants to make you feel alive, or die trying. An absurdist, musical, chaotic, joyful show about the colours of the world becoming slowly brighter. Also being trans.

As seen/heard on Channel 4 / HBO Max / BBC Radio 4.

'Undeniably ludicrous comedy gold' **** (Entertainment-Now.com).
'Eclectic, risk-taking and inventive' (Scotsman).
'Winningly weird...this young comic is on the way up' (The Telegraph').
