Megan Crabbe +
​Joeley Bishop 

Megan Jayne Crabbe (aka BodyPosiPanda) and Joeley Bishop (aka TheVagaggle) have been best friends for over a decade, but in more recent years have decided to step into their destiny and become diet culture slaying feminist killjoys. They recently completed a UK tour of their show, the Never Say Diet Club which is part Ted talk, part musical, part stand-up comedy and entirely covered in pink sparkles. Their mission was to help people hop off the endless diet cycle, understand why we hate our bodies, plus dismantle some fatphobia and other forms of prejudice that are used to place bodies in a bullshit hierarchy of human value along the way. They'll be bringing a couple of Never Say Diet Club classics to perform with hopefully just as much sparkle. Megan also has a few followers on the internet and Joeley is a dance teacher.
