A bold, joyful punk-musical one-person show about making a queer family on your own terms, written and performed by award-nominated comedian, writer and composer Leila Navabi.The critically acclaimed show was included in The Guardian's "10 Best Shows to Catch" at Edinburgh Fringe this summer and was nominated for the Brighton Fringe Award for Excellence.Relay blends stand-up, electro-pop musical numbers and hand-drawn animation into a heartfelt, hilarious hour about what it takes to start a family when the odds (and the system) are stacked against you.

Leila dives into the wild ride of making a baby at home with her partner, a best mate as the sperm donor, and, naturally, his boyfriend cheering from the sidelines.

Navabi unpacks love, ambition, and the chaos of building a family on her own terms.

Equal parts absurd and profound, Relay is proof that family is not just what you make it, but how.
