Zumanity: The Sensual Side of Cirque du Soleil

Calcutt and comedic partner Nicky Dewhurst designed and directed Zumanity's 3 comic acts: "Sex Toys", "Light" & "Vegas Hook Up".  Calcutt's act "Scotch Baggies!" co-written with Sue Morrison, is the only solo act written and performed by a female comedian in Cirque du Soleil’s 30-year history. In 2015 Calcutt co-wrote the new script for Zumanity's Mistress of Sensuality, Edie, with acclaimed writer Jamie Morris. Part burlesque and part cabaret, Zumanity is a sexy thrill ride full of sensational acrobatics and naughty fun!

"I had the amazing opportunity to work with Shannan during Zumanity’s "refresh" when Cirque hired her to write new dialogue for me. I immediately felt safe putting my character into her hands. This process gave me wonderful insight into her brilliantly creative, whacky, witty mind. She never runs out of funny. I haven’t laughed that hard in a long time."
