Sam Nicoresti: Baby Doomer

New Forest Pride returns for 2026, with the support of Culture In Common and partners. Hosted by Forest Arts Centre across Friday 17th and Saturday 18th July, NFP brings an exciting programme of local and national LGBTQIA+ talent to New Milton, across comedy, music, spoken-word, theatre, drag and cabaret, with workshops, participatory sessions and a host of stalls from local organisations and sellers. This year, the programme is being curated with the support of local LGBTQIA+ residents, with particular involvement from Breakout Youth's groups in New Milton and Marchwood. NFP is beyond thrilled to have internationally-loved comedian Sam Nicoresti to open this year's event.

 

 

 

 

A glistening diamond hour of stand-up from “delusional trans comedian” Sam Nicoresti about love, insanity, and the hunt for the perfect skirt suit. Following a critical maelstrom of success at the Edinburgh Fringe, and three weeks of sold-out performances at London’s Soho Theatre, Sam finally brings an extended and revamped version of her breakout hit show Baby Doomer to the great unwashed (i.e. goes on tour).

 

From getting stuck in a dress in a TK Maxx to finding love between the standing stones of Cornwall, through sperm banks, Lord of the Rings figurines, and queer cat names, Sam Nicoresti examines life's most vital question: can you ever hope to find the perfect skirt suit?

 

Baby Doomer is the follow-up to the acclaimed Wokeflake. “One of the definitive documents of the trans experience in stand-up.” Chortle.
