CHAT SHIT, GET HIT

★★★★ ‘Funny, razor-sharp and precisely judged’ - The Scotsman

★★★★ ‘A tour de force of female rage & vulnerability’ - A Young(ish) Perspective

★★★★ ‘Dynamic and unpredictable…a warmly rousing interrogation of female rage’ - Fest

★★★★★ ‘Totally glorious, completely justified and undeniably necessary’ - Corr Blimey

’A powerhouse performance. I’ve never wanted to bark so badly in my entire life. A stunning piece of theatre’ - What The Fringe

‘What if your anger just simmers underneath? If it never quite reaches boiling point,
but it’s present, burning your insides’

Combining spoken word, football chants, live art and theatre, Chat Shit, Get Hit dives into women's anger:
how it fuels, how it festers and how it is swallowed. A funny and uncompromising show about recovery,
solidarity and the suppression of women's rage.

‘It’s a poised performance by an immensely likeable artist, funny, razor-sharp and precisely judged. Rather than immersing us in her own understandable rage, Pailing invites us to consider what rage we might be harbouring, and what effect that might be having on us...Silently seething while trying to be nice is messing with our bodies’ - ★★★★ The Scotsman
