1–27 Aug 2018
Too fat? Too thin? Never exercise? Gym crazy? Hate how you look in the nude? Skin Deep is a comedy musical revue exploring body image, dieting, plastic surgery, exercise, dating apps and the pressure to look perfect. Diana and her boys sing, dance and joke their way through a celebration of every body, combining comedy, original songs and burlesque-style nudity with a message about self-confidence and accepting yourself as you are.
