The Roots Foundation shows:
We’re proud to be using The Roots Foundation as one of our venues. Their ethos—to be more than just a hair salon, but an ethical, progressive, and welcoming social space—aligns closely with our own values. We’ve programmed two exciting, gender nonconforming (and most importantly, hilarious) acts here, knowing they’ll be supported by the space and bring plenty of laughs.

May Thompson: What Do You Want From Me Tonight?
-
May Thompson is both trans and Cornish. In 2023, both parts of her were tested. This is a story about clowns, about coping, and about Kernow, with extreme deviations to talk about literally anything else.
The debut hour from one of the South West's most "disruptive" acts is due to ask the big questions. Are you scared? Are you nervous? What do you want from me tonight?
