Beth Knight: Who Told You To Be Small?

After a successful run at the Edinburgh Fringe, artist Beth Knight brings her show Who Told You To Be Small on tour. It’s a story of tackling her demons with painting, comedy, and a jab at the patriarchy.

Beth received her Master of Fine Arts from the Academy of Art University in San Francisco. In 2023, her paintings have gone on to be included in the Ruth Borchard Self-Portrait Prize exhibition and were in the pre-selections for the Royal Society of Portrait Painters competition. After launching her stand-up career in London last year, she’s performed in top comedy clubs, including The Billy Murray, Monkey Barrel, and The Stand. Now she’s blending her paintings and comedy into an hour show about her fight with internalized patriarchy.

“★★★★ … This show is an example of why the Fringe is wonderful (the show is wonderful too). “ —One4Review
