Why God Created Lesbians 2025

Info

Why God Created Lesbians takes place on Saturday the 14th June 2025.

In her brand-new one-woman show, Clare Summerskill attempts to explain the point of the perplexing sexual minority to which she belongs, asking why lesbians exist? Is it to ease the pressure on cat rescue centres? Is it to ensure that Shibden Hall remains a viable tourist attraction? Or is it to write one-woman comedy shows featuring songs, standup and storytelling? After decades of field research, she thinks she has the answer.

Expect silliness, satire and self-deprecation from crowd-pleaser Clare Summerskill as she hits the road with her funniest show yet. Clare will share the previously unheard story of the lesbian squirrel on the Ark, forced to take up a complaint about compulsory heterosexuality with Noah himself; and she will finally uncover the Almighty’s real opinion about women-loving-women.

A packed comedy show with original songs from ‘one of the funniest women in the country’ (What’s On) with a keen fanbase across the UK (gay and straight!). Clare has previously written for BBC Radio 4’s Weekending and Heated Rollers and toured her shows to theatres in the UK and the US.
