Winner of the Total Theatre Award at the Edinburgh Festival Fringe, BURGERZ has been a sell-out sensation across the world since 2018. 

After someone threw a burger at them and shouted a transphobic slur, performance artist Travis Alabanza became obsessed with burgers. How they are made, how they feel, and smell. How they travel through the air. How the mayonnaise feels on your skin. This hilarious and heartbreaking show explores how trans people survive and reclaims an act of violence with a side of serious bite. 

2026 marks 10 years since that burger slid off Travis’s face on London’s Waterloo Bridge. Come hear a story that remains painfully timely, unsettling and powerful – a triumphant response that has taken Alabanza all around the world.
