Custard Tarts

Thu 20 - Sun 23 Aug 2026

Five women. Four decades. Twenty Tins of custard. One delicious secret.

Meet Nancy, a young, disillusioned queer woman looking for community. Now meet the four lesbians at her dinner table who she's summoned from across the 20th century. What follows is a night of passive aggression, actual aggression, impromptu drag numbers and delicious custard fights.

"Hilarious", "absurd" and "heartbreaking" (FringeReview), Custard Tarts makes its London debut at Riverside Studios after a celebrated run with 2 award nominations at the Brighton Fringe.

Written, produced and directed (in that order) by Alice Harris-Deans, Qawiiah Bisiriyu and Emma Gibson, this egg-based, time-travelling romp is not one to be missed.

 

Age recommendation: 13+
