As childhood memories bleed into the present, her carefully constructed logic unravels, revealing the disturbing cost of trying to calculate your own worth, in a dark, intimate exploration of food, femininity, control and the things we learn to believe about our bodies.", "url": "https://go-gnocchi.app/en/london/events/fruit-salad-60512/", "official_url": "https://www.etceteratheatrecamden.com/events/fruit-salad", "image": "https://go-gnocchi.app/images/0456b60413d88cffed76e2dc307ed2b75c8fa904b6f71104ff0cce403d802a58-2000.webp", "dates": [{"start": "2026-10-30T15:00:00Z", "end": "2026-10-30T16:00:00Z", "place": "Etcetera Theatre", "address": "265 Camden High Street, London, England, NW1 7BU, United Kingdom", "tickets": ""}, {"start": "2026-10-31T17:00:00Z", "end": "2026-10-31T18:00:00Z", "place": "Etcetera Theatre", "address": "265 Camden High Street, London, England, NW1 7BU, United Kingdom", "tickets": ""}], "similar": [{"title": "Devour", "start": "2026-11-08T20:00:00Z", "end": "2026-11-08T21:00:00Z", "place": "Etcetera Theatre", "address": "265 Camden High Street, London, England, NW1 7BU, United Kingdom", "price": "£14", "price_from": "14.00", "price_to": "14.00", "tickets_url": "https://www.voilafestival.co.uk/events/devour/", "category": "comedy", "tags": ["comedy/stand-up", "society/sex-work"], "description": "Devour is a comedy theatre show by Lady Wentworth, part of the VOILA!
