Main Character Energy

Bobby Harding and Temi Wilkey present

Tue 30 Jun

About Main Character Energy

A beautiful and supremely talented Black actress is putting on an outrageously hilarious, autobiographical one-woman show to finally take up the space she’s been so routinely denied. 

A high camp cocktail of comedy and cabaret, written and performed by Temi Wilkey. 

After a critically acclaimed run at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival 2024 at Paines Plough’s Roundabout, and a sold-out run at Soho Theatre in Spring 2025, Temi Wilkey's cult phenomenon Main Character Energy is coming to take The Nest by storm!

4 Stars

The perfect send up of the one-woman show

The Guardian

5 Stars

Hilarious from start to finish
