Squid is an aquatic-drag-turned-poetry act, through which I have serenade audiences across the coast of London, Berlin, Brighton, Palestine, Wroclaw.


The Story is slightly different every time.

Here is what other Humans said about Squid:

“Amanda’s squid takes a refreshingly innocent approach to sex, using story telling, surrealism and theatre to captivate her audience. Cute, weird and physiologically confusing. Amanda, I was with you all the way.”
— Avi Tal (Temporary Autonmous Art London, UK)
“ A moving tragicomic performance operating in the golden area of surreality, where there is a beautiful clarity to the message but it slips into your subconscious beneath the kindest fits of laughter”
— Joseph Summers (First Terrace Records, UK)

“Amanda’s performances are wonderfully captivating. Her energy and use of language is so naturally hilarious, I could listen to her talk about anything and probably be left in stitches. She has the gift of turning something benign into a world of bizarrely, intriguing absurdity.”
— Buster Grey-Jung (Artist, UK)
“Amanda has been able to put into words some of the more bizarre and abstract concepts that I only thought were possible to feel in an undefinable, emotional sense. Hearing her read aloud is like listening to someone voice your subconscious concerns, with aquatic fervor.”
— Dan Fethke (Artist and Filmmaker, US)
