What would your ultimate wedding look like? Jessy’s involves some corgi’s bringing the rings down the aisle, a collective skinny dip, and a big pink double decker bus. Kaiya’s ultimate wedding involves not getting married at all. Unfortunately, they’re a couple.
Being part of the first generation of queers able to get married seems to make weddings a no brainer but the institution is wrapped up in ideas of ‘perfect’ women and ‘real’ men. Not Your Nice Girl set out to try and discover who these people are and to marry them for good.
Join Kaiya and Jessy at the Edinburgh Fringe as they work through some of their issues surrounding one of life’s biggest decisions whilst tackling gender roles and having a bit of a laugh. There’ll be romance. There’ll be tears. There’ll be psychic ladies.
Save the date.

NOT YOUR NICE GIRL are a duo made up of Kaiya Stone and Jessy Parker Humphreys. They realised after many an extravagantly costumed club night that they could take their explorations of gender and put it on a stage, bringing together their backgrounds in choral singing, devised theatre and stand-up comedy. Fed up with the academic nature of theoretical discussion surrounding gender performance, they aim to attack binary and patriarchal understandings of gender in a light-hearted and open way.
