Chloe Petts - Big Naturals

Chloe Petts is here and reporting from the scene of English lad culture. Across an hour, Chloe delves into the toxic masculinity and emotional repression of English lad culture that shaped their upbringing; they do so from the standpoint of a butch lesbian; someone who grew up with those mindsets and cultural influences but remained separated by gender and sexuality. 

It’s a big topic, and it’s also funny. Chloe’s lackadaisical, almost irreverent attitude on stage gives them a distinct voice as a fast-rising comedian. From delivering boob-filled tabloids as a child to watching the Lionesses win the women’s Euros at Wembley in 2022, Chloe has a way of structuring an anecdote that keeps the audience in the palm of their hand. It helps that they play off the audience’s energy like a pro. Let’s just say that this was the first time I ever felt happy hearing about an English football victory. 

Chloe Petts is a breath of fresh air, laddishness and all. My first time seeing them was a real treat, and I’ll be here for what they do next.
