You’re SO F**KING Croydon! is a bold, unapologetic dive into the female working-class life experience and noughties club culture, blending music, dance, comedy, and spoken word — plus Croydon’s most infamous celebrities.
“It was my nemesis, I hated Croydon with a real vengeance. It represented everything I didn’t want in my life, everything I wanted to get away from. I think it’s the most derogatory thing I can say about somebody or something: ‘God, it’s so f**king Croydon!’”
— David Bowie
Set against Croydon’s gritty reputation, this interactive show challenges Bowie’s words, exploring identity, resilience, and breaking free from stereotypes.

“We are forced,
We had no other option.
Dragged to an uncertain end,
On a road full of obstacles and checkpoints that we could barely pass.
Our destiny unknown.
During the long and rough journey,
We kept dreaming of the moment we would arrive,
Continuing our path towards the unknown.
Finally,
We arrive.
Have we reached our goal?
After floating earth and oceans,
We discover the unexpected.
It really was nothing, but a mirage.”
