Chloe Petts performs her debut show Transience at the Pleasance Opening Gala in Edinburgh this August
(Picture: Getty Images)The venue lights were accidentally left on at start of Chloe Petts’ Soho set, but this first night hiccup was a brief one. After a quick sardonic ad lib about having to see everyone’s ugly mugs, someone found the correct switch to flick and normal service was resumed.
This was an apt glitch though. Petts’ extremely engaging debut Transience is an illuminating insight into the hot topic of gender. It is not as hard-hitting or heavy as that might sound. The twentysomething from Sittingbourne, who is a lesbian, simply takes us through some of her own experiences, subtly putting a persuasive case for more tolerance.
