Women of
a Certain Rage.

Storytelling by women. Real stories from the messy middle of a life. In the spirit of The Moth and About Last Night. Every storyteller, a ‘woman of a certain rage.’

A storytelling show for the middle.

Perimenobroads is a live storytelling show. Just women in their 30s, 40s, 50s, and 60s, at the mic, telling the truth about the things we were told to whisper about.

Each show: three to five storytellers. Eight-minute true stories. Funny, furious, tender, weird. No notes. No apology.

"I'm not going through something. I'm arriving somewhere."

What our broads sound like.

A taste of the energy on stage. Bring your own.

"Hot flashes aren't a symptom. They're my body running on pure rage and finally telling the truth."
"I'm not moody. I've just run out of fucks and my hormones burned the last one."
"My uterus is in its villain arc and honestly, I'm here for it."
"The old me would've apologized for taking up space. The perimenopausal me would like a word."
"Used to people-please. Now I'm in perimenopause and I just… don't."
"New era. Less estrogen. Zero tolerance."

The next show.
