Rosa Garland's PRIMAL BOG Will Debut at Soho Theatre in February

After an acclaimed Edinburgh Fringe 2025 run, Rosa Garland (Trash Salad, The Kink Shame Show) will bring Primal Bog to Soho Theatre from the 25th February to 7th March. A clown/live art mash-up that joyfully plunges into erotic desire in its ugliest, stickiest, and most liberating forms, join Rosa as she plunges headfirst into the muck of sexuality, slime, and unfiltered desire that's been hailed as "filthy and fearless" (The Telegraph) and "a masterclass in comedy" (Metro).

In the metaphorical Bog - a swampy zone of our psyche thick with shame, taboo, and irresistible allure - audiences meet PB, a clownish, nakedly confident adventurer who is unafraid of slime, worms, mess, or psychological taboos. Through lip syncs, storytelling, lesbian slime wrestling, live tattooing, and delightful cameos from Sean Bean, Gwyneth Paltrow, and Rosa's own asshole, Primal Bog embarks on a playful and rebellious journey into desires too often hidden.

Inspired by Rosa's personal journey through psychosexual therapy and queer intimacy, Primal Bog dares to reject commodified self-care and corporate-friendly queer liberation. Expect an unapologetically grotesque experience: bright orange slime, real worms, bodily fluids, and a defiant celebration of bodies unburdened by the male gaze.

Rosa Garland says: "Finding your pleasure isn't always clean or aesthetically pleasing, especially when you've grown up queer and closeted. I want audiences to dive into the strangest and most liberating ride of their lives - to embrace curiosity, tenderness, playfulness, and even flippancy with our bodies rather than constantly 'preserving the merchandise.' Edinburgh Fringe 2025 was an incredible experience and I can't wait to bring Primal Bog to Soho Theatre and see how it thrives in a new space."
