Chloe Petts: Big Naturals

 
JP Review by JP 5 Published: 19 Aug 2025 Pleasance Courtyard Show Dates: 30 Jul 2025-24 Aug 2025

Chloe Petts loves boobs. She’s made that abundantly clear in her new hour, appropriately named Big Naturals. In a stand-up set that digs into what it means to grow up with lad culture, date baby gays and question one’s masculinity, Petts has complete control of the room.

Made me grateful to see a stand-up hold a truth-telling position, especially one informed by gender

I was impressed by how nuanced Petts’ examination is. It’s honest, hilarious and never misses a beat in returning to a joke she’s already set up. She comes from such a genuine place and, in the same sentence, can be hilariously cynical. It made me grateful to see a stand-up hold a truth-telling position, especially one informed by gender.

There’s an acknowledgement of her own masculinity and its respective problematic aspects. In a very sincere moment she talks about her dad’s approach to conflict, which is to be soft spoken. I was laughing and at the same time reflecting on how valid a subject this is – especially in comedy.

I absolutely loved the show and believe it deserves the continued acclaim it’s receiving.

The Blurb:

Following three sell-out shows, Petts (Live at the Apollo, HIGNFY) returns to the Fringe and she's delving where she's never delved before: this is a show about sex. The problem is that she blushes every time she says that word. From Page 3, to the time she was cast as a sex offender, to the not-niche-at-all phenomena of vagina dentata, join 'one of the most accomplished stand-ups working in the UK today' (Scotsman) for her most titillating hour yet. 'When it comes to comedy, Petts is very much Premier League' (Evening Standard).
