Bottom Surgery - Melbourne Fringe

New Zealand comedienne brings her hit autobiographical one-woman cabaret on getting bottom surgery
“So... can you have kids now?” Join rising kiwi comedienne and burlesque princess Lily Catastrophe in her smash hit debut BOTTOM SURGERY, a semi-autobiographical variety evening about trying to get gender affirming surgery in Aotearoa New Zealand.

Enter Lily Catastrophe’s world of boys’ schools and girl failures as she explains all the parts you didn’t want to know about The Surgery.

Winner of the Best Cabaret award at the Nelson Fringe Festival 2025, this (mostly) one-woman show weaves together raunchy performance, outrageous storytelling, and confessional intimacy to invite audiences into Lily’s personal journey.

Part-memoir and part-plea for accessible trans healthcare, BOTTOM SURGERY is an exuberant celebration of trans bodies on stage that details the wins, losses, and the plain confusing parts of living as a transgender woman.
