About this show
Cult superstar Baby Lame is Britney Spears in a hilariously unhinged punk odyssey, uncovering the true (but completely unauthorised and definitely not approved by her legal team) story of the world's most chaotic pop icon. Featuring 100(ish) Britney bangers, space travel, romance, murder and full-throttle pop madness, co-starring the entire audience. Directed by Deanna Fleysher (Butt Kapinski / Red Bastard). This is the Britney saga nobody asked for, but everyone will remember. 'A wildly entertaining force to be reckoned with' (CultureFix.co.uk). 'Badass, gutsy and kind of kinky too' (Fest).

Baby Lame’s Hit Me Baby One More Lame! is the story of one performer’s affinity with Britney Spears, taking us through outer space on one of the most imaginative clown-drag odysseys I’ve ever seen. 4 Stars
Hit Me Baby One More Lame! remains a brave, heart-on-sleeve queer celebration. For those seeking a feral, unapologetic party that trades polish for real emotional heart, Baby Lame delivers a night to remember.
— Broadway World (3 out of 5 stars)
BABY LAME: HIT ME BABY ONE MORE LAME! is the best night out you will ever have. Whether a Britney stan or not, this is total madness of a show that won’t stop you laughing or gasping at the next thing she does on stage.
