Basic Bald B*tch - Paperback

by Emily Glaze (Author)

Honey we're all putting on a face, some
of us are just better at being two-faced
than others.

Hair is everything. Until it's not. This one hour, one-woman, one-night stand of a show is all about Amy. Everyone wants to be Amy. Until her hair falls out in all the wrong places. What follows is a knotty mess of swimming caps, cat shit and four-finger foreheads. Things buried threaten to rear their ugly bald head. She can't stop thinking about the door. Her bedroom door. And the man hiding behind it. Now Amy attempts to take back her body, one fake eyebrow at a time.

This edition was published to coincide with the production at Edinburgh Festival Fringe in August 2026.
