The tour follows a critically acclaimed hit London run and a 2026 OffWestEnd (Offie) award nomination for innovation.

As with all the legendary performance artist’s previous autobiographical shows, Bog Witch follows a part of Kimmings’ real-life story.

Using her trademark mixture of humour and heart, expect excellent storytelling, mystical projections, epic songs and banging sound as she charts her journey uprooting her and her son’s life to live in a tumbledown cottage in the wilderness – to plug back into nature as a last-ditch attempt to be happy and sane.

Playwright & Performer in 'The Bog Witch', Bryony Kimmings, said: “Bog Witch is about being the least likely eco-convert. The last person to let go of their capitalist trappings. It explores what happens when ordering things online, drinking from plastic coffee cups and stuffing my face with Deliveroo no longer brings happiness.”

Bryony added: “Beneath all the bought stuff and façade, the endless distraction and dopamine, we find we are sad animals. Animals who have been disconnected from our ecosystems for too long. This is the story not of dropping out, but of plugging back in, and one that changes absolutely everything.”
