Sexy Rude Harp Concert

Have you ever been on several failed dates and lived to tell the tale? Sexy Rude Harp Concert explores the idea of trying to find the perfect match and a happy ever after in an honest, engaging and humourous way through personal anecdotes, harp playing and original songs parodying opera. Bringing all these different genres together, what you see is a woman on the edge of self discovery through her own sexuality as she tries to overcome her own doubts and past trauma by going on a sexual conquest of empowerment and more.

There is never a dull moment in Sexy Rude Harp Concert

Sam Hickman from the word go is upfront about her own journey trying to find a man. She uses anecdotes from her own life that lead her to where she is today sexually, creatively and musically that enables us to connect and relate to her as a person. From introducing us to a mother who scarred her by saying 'If I stayed a lesbian, I wouldn't have had you', we immediately see someone who is vulnerable and creates her own therapy using her harp playing and setting out to get revenge in a cheeky way on her mother despite them reconciling their differences. Part of that revenge explores finding something her mother couldn't have; a man. The way Hickman weaves in and out of each adventure into the next song is so slick that you have to stay on your toes as the jokes keep coming hard and fast. However, she is not afraid to have her moments of stillness to keep the variety fresh and to lure you into a false sense of security before another pun arrives.

Hickman's skills as a performer are mesmerising as she tells her stories, but what really makes this show stand out is her harp playing and singing skills. Like a spider web, she weaves every note and lyric together so well that it gives the impression of someone who is out to make her mark on the world. Imagine Drag Race's Michelle Visage mixed with the musical and comedic ability of Victoria Wood and you have Sam Hickman. There is never a dull moment in Sexy Rude Harp Concert and the more you watch and participate, the more sassy the show gets with Hickman's charming way of luring you in.

Sexy Rude Harp Concert is for adults who love pure, honest comedy, burlesque routines, unique songs and music that enhances the soul. Not to be missed.

Since you’re here…

… we have a small favour to ask. We don't want your money to support a hack's bar bill at Abattoir, but if you have a pound or two spare, we really encourage you to support a good cause. If this review has either helped you discover a gem or avoid a turkey, consider doing some good that will really make a difference.

You can donate to the charity of your choice, but if you're looking for inspiration, there are three charities we really like.

Mama Biashara
Kate Copstick’s charity, Mama Biashara, works with the poorest and most marginalised people in Kenya. They give grants to set up small, sustainable businesses that bring financial independence and security. That five quid you spend on a large glass of House White? They can save someone’s life with that. And the money for a pair of Air Jordans? Will take four women and their fifteen children away from a man who is raping them and into a new life with a moneymaking business for Mum and happiness for the kids.

Theatre MAD
The Make A Difference Trust fights HIV & AIDS one stage at a time. Their UK and International grant-making strategy is based on five criteria that raise awareness, educate, and provide care and support for the most vulnerable in society. A host of fundraising events, including Bucket Collections, Late Night Cabarets, West End Eurovision, West End Bares and A West End Christmas continue to raise funds for projects both in the UK and Sub-Saharan Africa.

The Blurb

Across an hour of original (and quite rude!) songs and stories; Sexy Rude Harp Concert presents one woman’s journey to get railed, among other things... Using high camp, old school Hollywood glamour, childhood trauma, knowing winks, ostrich feathers and a Bedazzler, Sam Hickman brings sparkle, warmth, and about 3 welsh language zingers to the stage in this harp concert that will make you laugh, cry and, if you must...think. Developed and produced in with collaboration by National Theatre Wales, The Sherman Theatre Cardiff, and Wales Millennium Centre, This show promises to be a fun filled samstravangza!
