Release yourself from the capitalistic machine that Christmas has become and enjoy a wild, hilarious holiday season celebration.
A family of queers, rebels and runaways serving post-punk and anti-capitalist realness, this is an epic Grinchian party like no other. It’s time to flip four calling birds to secular traditions and embrace the festive chaos with F Christmas.

Fat Fruit (Sarah Ward & Bec Matthews, F Fabulous) and Susie Dee invite you to kick back for a yuletide variety show that agitates the holiday season. Somewhere between a hallucinogenic, camp Christmas fantasy and a perverse, apocalyptic nightmare, F Christmas unwraps our toxic secular addictions and makes room for alternative celebrations.

Welcome to F Christmas – at last a holiday experience that truly sleighs. Less

On a plantation in the West Indies,
the real harvest is a viscous fluid, salty …. slightly sweet.
Imported ebony bodies made to grind, collude against their will
Black Kings reduced to watching their Queens milked

Masa sits and licks and licks and licks
This succulent carnal delight is entrepreneurial pride
and a rise for his …

There’s one whose juice tantalises the most
But an encounter with something mundane,
from the land carrying her real name
awakens a cosmic rebel ghost

Beat, Beat, Beat drums, suns, daughters eyes wide
Warrior memory rising
Is it enough to turn the colossal colonial tide?

An original story inspired by the life of Jamaica’s Nanny of the Maroons
