Eat the Rich (but maybe not me mates x)
By Jade FranksFresh from its five star, sell-out Edinburgh Fringe run: a hilarious, politically sharp story of a working-class Scouser navigating Cambridge University, hiding her cleaning job, and exposing privilege with wit and charm.
Winner of The Scotsman’s Fringe First Award, The Holden Street Theatres Award and The Filipa Bragança Award, this is the play everyone’s talking about.
Inspired by Franks’ own time as a working-class student at Cambridge, the show follows Jade, a Scouse fresher juggling secret cleaning shifts with the culture shock of Oxbridge privilege. With razor-sharp wit and a dozen unforgettable characters, Eat the Rich exposes the absurdities of class, money and belonging in Britain today.
Listed in The New York Times among the ‘Buzziest Acts of the Fringe’ and in The Telegraph’s 'Top Plays to See', Eat the Rich has cemented Jade Franks as one of the UK’s most exciting new voices.

As funny as it is politically stinging
A bold and slick show driven by sharp humour and pure grit
High-energy performance and bulldozer charm
Franks brings the monologue form back to life through sheer force of personality
