Sh*t, Spot, Shaft Bold, hilarious, and deeply moving – Becky Steepe’s comedy turns tragedy into a call to action for life and laughter.

In Cancer Card, Becky Steepe masterfully transforms her personal battle with stage 4 bowel cancer into an unforgettable night of laughter, empathy, and reflection.

Becky’s balloon artistry added a surprising and clever twist to the performance, showcasing her versatility and creativity. The show’s finale, a shared singalong to the catchy tune “Sh*t, Spot, Shaft,” left the audience in stitches and cemented the evening’s message be vigilant, persistent, and unashamedly aware of your health. Cancer Card is more than a comedy show – it’s a testament to resilience, a rallying cry for self-advocacy, and a poignant reminder to live life fully. Becky’s mission to raise awareness of early-onset cancer through humour is nothing short of inspiring.
