Verity Sharpe: Landlord’s Wet Dream is the bold, genre-defying debut from comedian and punk poet Verity Sharpe. This riotous solo show brings together autobiographical stand-up, anthemic punk music, and satirical poetry in a fierce and funny takedown of the UK housing crisis.
From flooded council homes to dodgy landlords and the grim reality of property guardianship, Sharpe transforms lived experience into an hour of rebellious, laugh-out-loud comedy. Riot Grrrl-inspired tracks power the show’s raw, cathartic energy—turning the stage into part-gig, part-protest, and wholly hilarious experience.
Praised by Reviews Hub as “a brilliant, savage, and singular takedown of housing as a commodity,” Sharpe moves deftly between alien clown and queer everywoman, weaving biting social critique with deeply human storytelling. This is comedy that doesn’t pull punches—taking on gentrification, precarious renting, and the profit-driven systems that threaten our communities and futures.
Come for the comedy, stay for the rage—or vice versa. Either way, you’ll leave fired up and laughing.
