Tabby Lamb
Tabby Lamb is a trans writer-performer from the East Midlands and founded the transfem writers’ group. Blending pop culture and politics with warmth and wit, her work is joyful, heartfelt, and rooted in queer lived experience. Her breakout queer rom-com HAPPY MEAL (Roots Touring) won a Fringe First at the 2022 Edinburgh Fringe and toured internationally. In 2023, she made history as the first trans woman to have work staged at Shakespeare’s Globe with AGRIEVANCE OF WITCHES. In 2025, Tabby created and hosted TRANS WICKED, a cabaret reimagining of Wicked featuring an all-trans cast. Her debut solo show SINCE U BEEN GONE (Gate Theatre / Edinburgh Fringe 2019) was praised by The Guardian as “bold, honest and swollen with love.” A BFI Flare × BAFTA Crew alum and recipient of the Sky Arts Bursary at Stratford East, Tabby continues to champion LGBTQ+ stories on stage and screen while facilitating creative projects for queer youth. Her work also includes HOW WE SWAM (National Youth Theatre), TUESDAY (Pegasus Theatre), and THE LAW OF MAYHEM (Proteus). [More about Tabby Lamb here]
