“If you don’t want to be censored, don’t say the wrong things. It really is that simple.”
Titania McGrath
This September radical inter-sectionalist poet Titania McGrath embarks on a mission to spread her commitment to feminism, social justice and armed peaceful protest about everything.
Prior to a full UK tour and London residency of her show MXNIFESTO, this work in progress show comes to Brighton Komedia on September 1
Titania McGrath, is a world-renowned millennial icon with 647K followers on Twitter and is a regular columnist for The Critic.
‘Hilarious… the most artful form of subtle parody’
Joe Rogan
‘Beautiful classic satire’
Ricky Gervais
‘A delight. Doyle’s creation turns her blind, contradictory, righteous rage to every subject you could imagine.’
Evening Standard
‘She pricks pomposity and tempers moral certitude with a hint of doubt; in short, she keeps us honest. And as a lover of satire, I treasure anyone who can hold a mirror up with wit and intelligence to the more sanctimonious and narrow-minded elements of the left that bother and suffocate people, even me.’
Shappi Khorsandi, Independent
‘Hilarious… perfectly captures the chiding, self-righteous, intolerant, joyless tone of the “woke” Stasi’
The Times
TITANIA MCGRATH MXNIFESTO
MXINFESTO takes the form of a confrontational lecture in which Titania guides her audience through the, often bewildering, array of terminology and concepts that constitute 21stcentury “wokeness”. New words such as “manterrupting”, “microaggressions” and “heteronormativity” often leave the general public bemused, particularly if they don’t read the Guardian.
Having conquered the world of social media, Titania is now generously bestowing her wisdom onto a live audience. Her step-by-step guide will enable her audience to become the woke people they need to be in an increasingly progressive world. In a non-patronising manner, Titania will explain where exactly they are going wrong and how to be more like her.
Titania McGrath is the satirical alter-ego of writer and comedian Andrew Doyle. She has been active on Twitter for only a year, but in that time has amassed over 275,000 followers. Her first book, WOKE: A GUIDE TO SOCIAL JUSTICE, was published in 2019 to great acclaim.
Doyle says of Titania McGrath
“Titania McGrath is a satirical take on the rise of a new kind of moral puritanism. She is the kind of humourless, po-faced, judgemental activist who is able to find offence in anything. She believes in a kind of social justice utopia that can be achieved if activists like her can only control the language, thoughts and behaviour of the population. Although from a wealthy background, she nonetheless considers herself to be a victim of the heteronormative patriarchy. She represents the type of identity-obsessed mindset that has infected the Left and has led it to become unelectable. As an activist she is vicious and deeply intolerant of anyone with an alternative view. That is to say, although she is fond of accusing others of bigotry, she is the living embodiment of the concept.”
