Anna Piper Scott: None of That Queer Stuff - Adelaide Fringe Review

Anna Piper Scott wears many hats; she’s a transgender woman, has Autism and ADHD, and is a polyamorous lesbian (or so we think so). 

Described as a ‘straight show for queer people and queer show for straight people’, Piper Scott delivers a rapid-fire paced stand-up comedy show which divulges on a plethora of her current life experiences. 

From sketchy times catching public transport, her gender identity, the complications of queer dating, jokes about having ADHD and Autism, experiencing an existential crisis, and a lesson on trans history, she’s crammed a lot into one show. 

With eshay impersonations, dating moral dilemmas, and trans visibility, Piper Scott’s got you covered for some cheeky laughs.

A barrage of witty one-liners and reenactments meshed with Piper Scott’s inner quintessential Australianism make for many ebbs and flows throughout each segment. She mingles with the crowd regularly to sway audience members into not so subtle hints of flirtatious energy and alluring connection. 

For many of the segments, Piper Scott shares the very vivid details of what she’s about to talk about to set the scene and for the audience to essentially experience it like she did. Oh how the drama is real, keeping the bombshells consistently coming and perplexing audience members’ minds who have not experienced what it’s like to be queer. 

The irony of course is that she paints the picture that her experiences are all extremely relatable, when in fact, the unconventional nature of her life (at least in the lens of a cisnormative and heteronormative world) couldn’t be any further than the conventional scripts which society has taught us. 

Piper Scott exudes confidence in her every step and move on stage, who delivers an hour of queer joy to both queer and non-queer people in None of That Queer Stuff.

Rating: ★★★★
