We Are Fox
Dark falls across our gritty city, and a shadow pads between the cards, under the streetlight. This place is their place, this time is their time. Do you dare to share it?
Welcome to Foxville.
Story Jam brings you old stories with sharp teeth and wild yowls – stories about life surviving and thriving, off the path and at the edges.
Expect fox-singing, graffiti-inciting and rubbish rooting in this brand-new show. So, clear your throat, roll up your sleeves and come out to play!

Queen of Between
What happens…
When the goddess of childbirth crosses her legs?
When you’re bound above chaos with golden threads?
When the weight of your grief means you can’t walk on?
When you’re neither living or dead so you don’t fit in?
When you’re… stuck?
That’s when you need Hecate: Queen of Between, many-shaped and multi-tasking goddess of birth, death, witches, weasels, hellhounds, crossroads, thresholds and ghosts.
Barking at her heels, Lucy Lill and Sarah Liisa Wilkinson take up their torches, jangle their keys and bring you stories of letting go, squeezing through and moving on. Join the three of them, along with Zeus, Hera and Hecuba, for a very epic evening.

Stoopid
Trouble. With bells on.
Things have seriously escalated for Katy – four truckles of cheese, a cartload of dodgy geezers and a
sausage dog are completely out of control. Meanwhile, Clever Else is getting married and having an identity crisis. And nobody else is helping.
When you see things the way these two do, life gets a lot more interesting. Maybe they’re fools. Their husbands certainly think so. But maybe they’re onto something. Perhaps it’s time you met
them.
Hilarity, tragedy, impossible trousers and audience-made paper chickens – welcome to STOOPID.
Suitable for ages 12+. (Contains mild swearing, but only under provocation from a cartload of robbers.)
Audience reactions:
“So crisp, so clear, every movement exact, so funny. What a good night!”

Winter's Night Wonder Tales
It’s cold and dark out there – join Story Jam’s Alys Torrance for a candlelit story upstairs in a cosy pub. Slip out of the everyday!
Drop by for a sweet hour and a half (including an interval), then mooch home for a good night’s
sleep. Or maybe slide on downstairs to the pub for a while longer.
February’s tale is for the single, the singular, the sweethearts and cynics…
A Grimm Guide To How To Be Yourself And Nobody Else
Including how not to choose your life partner, how not to feed a cow, the best way to put on trousers, and how to completely fail to grasp that everyone is different and that doesn’t make them wrong.
Let’s love being human. Roses and chocs optional. Tickets essential.

Women Who Gave no F*cks
Tales to make you want to rip up the rule book and riot!
Domestic warrior and pirate queen go head-to-head with naughty pig-wife goddess and sword-wielding nemesis. You want these gals on your side.
Who will you vote for?
Two teams of tip-top storytellers slam down their fast and furious tales as the clock ticks down.
Aided by our human clap-o-meter, appoint the night’s ultimate Woman Who Gave None and award glittering prizes.
Gloating, crowing, facing-off, bribery of the audience and playing to the gallery are all likely.
We loved your f*ck off story...
Women around the globe are hitting the headlines and calling out abuse and inequality. We began tweeting one another the names and images of inspiring super-women who stalk through the world’s myths and legends. Excited by what we found, we dug deeper. Many were new to us – sidelined and almost forgotten… No longer!
Story Jam’s Women Who Gave No F*cks brings these ancient, necessary tales to centre stage where they belong. We think you’re going to love ’em.
WWGNF socks it to the Patriarchy with stories of women from history and legend who took no prisoners and lived life on their own terms. An antidote to pink, pastel, and barbie dolls, WWGNF inspires, educates, empowers, and above all entertains. A rousing night out!

We’ve shared the stage with witty, wise, brave and sweary storywomen. We’ve heard about grand grandmothers, fighty ancestors and heart-busting heroine-ism from our audiences. We’ve laughed, cheered and collapsed into Travelodge beds.
Thank you to everyone who has been part of the joy of discovering unheard women’s stories so far. Every night is unique because of you. We are grateful to Arts Council England for making our last two tours possible, to all the theatres and clubs that have invited the madness in, and to our technician, Damian (honorary Woman Who Gave None) Robertson.
WOMEN WHO GAVE NO F*CKS is available for bookings.
