The WOW Show with Jude Kelly

- Main Information
There’s no denying it – the world feels heavy right now and the news feels relentless. Rights are being rolled back across the globe, and the UN says gender equality is still 134 years away. It’s easy to feel hopeless – but WOW - Women of the World believes there’s still much to celebrate.
Fresh from its Edinburgh Fringe run, join Jude Kelly for powerful stories and bold conversations as The WOW Show goes on tour across the North East to take a fresh look at feminism today with special guests and local heroes at every performance.
There’ll be big ideas, local heroes and tales of incredible people you may never have heard of before, but who you’ll now never forget. It’ll be an interactive evening of crowdsourced ideas and actions, as together we discuss, rage and celebrate YOUR burning issues and ideas on everything from money to sex, housing to public transport, and bringing up boys to ageing.
For 15 years, WOW has brought millions together across six continents to celebrate women, girls, and non-binary people and inspire action – always with humour, energy, and passion.
Grab your friends and family – it's an evening for everyone.
The WOW Show is presented by S&DR200 and WOW - Women of the World, in association with ESK
