Usually disabled people just want to do the right thing. But what if they don’t?

What if they were out to make as much money as possible from the guilt of non-disabled, anxious people (like you)?

Hot off the back of their smash-hit run at Edinburgh Fringe Festival, multi-award-winning, disability-led theatre company FlawBored presents It’s a Motherf**king Pleasure.

FlawBored is a theatre company co-founded by Samuel Brewer, Aarian Mehrabani and Chloe Palmer. They create meta-theatrical work with dark irreverence which aims to address complex and uncomfortable issues surrounding identity which no one has the answers to.

FlawBored shows feature integrated, creative access throughout and seek to create an environment where all audiences, regardless of impairments and disabilities are able to access the same show.

A FlawBored show is cheeky and chaotic, and most importantly is not disability ‘trauma-porn’ or ‘pity-porn.’
