Michelle de Swarte: The Afters
14 March @ 7.30pm
About Michelle de Swarte: The Afters
Michelle de Swarte comes to Oxford with her trademark razor-sharp wit and no-holds-barred storytelling.
After the main event’s highs and lows, Michelle wonders what to do after the party.
She’s heading to the afters for some brutally honest oversharing about life before social media, trying to scrape the barrel of youth, how to know when too much filler is too much, breaking down the cost difference of ‘party powder’ to powdered greens, whether tarot card readers replace actual therapy and when is a good time to pregame perimenopause.
Michelle is here to share all the fu@k ups, so you don’t have to.
Star and writer-creator of BBC’s critically acclaimed Spent, Michelle de Swarte has been seen on Sky/HBO’s The Baby, Amazon’s Backstage with Katherine Ryan and The Duchess on Netflix, as well as Live at the Apollo and Never Mind the Buzzcocks. Michelle was recently named one of Variety’s 10 Brits to Watch for 2025.
