Wtf is cake & Violence?
Do you feel like you sometimes… can't feel anything? It’s easy to get so caught up in the woes of the world and the woes of our selves, that it’s… well, numbing. And we can’t have that, now can we?
Cake & Violence is a food fetish fever dream of a solo show brought to you by writer & New Yorker cartoonist, “Great Job” Nat. Watch her deliver a bunch of monologues whilst smashing a big ol’ cake, all in an effort to get you to FEEL something. It's comedic, it's dramatic, it's about not only reconnecting to your body, but to every body.
Produced by Gabriella Wall

Every moment is punctuated by cake - smashing it, moulding it, cutting it, throwing it… A powerful and well-organised story, Nat tells it with ease. She tells a tale that is uniquely her own and yet a universally shared experience. She isn't here to answer our questions but to leave us with one:"What makes you feel anything?”
