A woman who developed vitiligo at three years old, with 70% of her body covered by age six, performed a stand-up comedy set about her experiences in December 2025. She had previously spent years trying to disguise her skin condition.
Her teenage years were described as difficult, marked by self-consciousness and efforts to cover her skin with foundation and fake tan. In November 2025, she signed up for a six-week comedy class, where she decided to joke about vitiligo.
The performance took place at 21 Soho in central London. She introduced her first vitiligo joke by asking the audience if anyone else had the condition, which was met with laughter. The jokes covered dating experiences, children's reactions, and responses to inappropriate questions. She expressed a desire to explore more open-mic nights following the experience.
