Sydnee Washington: My Black Barbie Story

Edinburgh 2026

Sydnee Washington has lived babe, many lives. Lowkey high key, nights so embarrassing only Black Barbie can reenact in a stop motion live show. Follow Sydnee's life story from childhood, to making questionable decisions as a bottle girl in the iconic nightclubs of 2010s New York City – and how she eventually climbed her way out through sobriety and, funnily enough, stand-up comedy. Join her in an unhinged night of judgment, laughs, and maybe even a bit of inspiration.
