Single, snacking and struggling. Fresh off a sold-out, rave-review season at the Melbourne Fringe Festival, Chip On Her Shoulder makes its bold New York debut at the 2026 New York City Fringe Festival — and it’s bringing a big slice of Aussie spirit with it. Come in person or buy a streaming ticket!

Written and directed by Australian writer-director Jen McAuliffe, and developed under the mentorship of Steve Leff(Curb Your Enthusiasm, Two and a Half Men), this sharp, funny and painfully relatable one-woman show follows Angela — a nurse chasing Broadway dreams while trying not to emotionally spiral… one salty snack at a time. She's salty at love, life and maybe herself.

Now reworked for US audiences and starring powerhouse performer Victoria Nieves, a force in the capital Region, the production hits New York with the same bite, heart and humour that won over Australian critics.

Melbourne critics called it:

“A love letter to the mess of modern womanhood — the hunger, the heartbreak and the hilariously unglamorous coping mechanisms that get us through.”

Come for the laughs.
Stay because you’re not sure whether to cry… or just open another bag of chips.
