In the City of Matches, a series of events leads to a change within the city, where a group of villains come together to strike back at a certain hero.
Originally written for Nuclear Armageddon Ain't Nothin' But Foreplay, an all-transgender cabaret I hosted in November 2023, The SCRREW Manifesto is Nancy's radical political treatise for mad, queer, gender-fucked giantess feminism and irresistible sexual terrorism. In it, Nancy attempts to convince her audience to join her underground, revolutionary cabal of sexy giant rebel-grrrls, the Sisterhood for the Chemical and Radioactive Radical Enlargement of Womxn -- or "SCRREW" for short -- by demonstrating just how effective fucking and grinding Manhattan Island off the face of the Earth while the US military ineffectively ejaculates barrages of nuclear hellfire all over your naked body can be as an act of rebellion against a misogynistic, queerphobic, transphobic status quo.
The "Tight Ten" version of The SCRREW Manifesto published here is an abridged version of the original Manifesto. After realising how effective the piece could be as a 10 minute set for comedy nights and cabaret events, with some of the more violent and harrowing content that featured in the Manifesto's original text cut out, I decided to produce this re-worked version. I hope you find it as funny and rousing as my past audiences have, and as the reviewer who called the Manifesto the highlight of a 5* reviewed comedy night did back in May 2025.
Note: the full, original version of The SCRREW Manifesto is available to read on my website. Additional content warnings for the extended version on my website include violent self-harm, graphic and visceral depictions of trauma, and its emotional and psychological effects on the brain and body. These warnings do NOT apply to the version published here.
Nancy Archer is, in her own words, a giant maverick genius dragging her metaphorical dick right across the face of Mother Nature, and making that warmongering motherfucker Uncle Sam insatiably horny in the process. Standing seven feet tall, with a seven-figure IQ to match, she’s a formidable figure in every sense. Working out of a top-secret DARPA laboratory in the deepest depths of the Sierra Nevada, at the height of the Cold War, she's been embezzling US Department of Defense funding for years, all in service of a singular goal: eradicating all physical discrepancies between the sexes, and ending the social and political dominance of men over women. She's been working for years on the perfect medical intervention: a growth formula that could potentially turn the Battle of the Sexes on its head, and make the gendered stereotypes and patriarchal social norms which haunted her as a 6'10" woman who towered over her peers impossible to enforce - or which could, instead, transform her into a skyscraping goddess with the power to make the world bend solely to her will. Which option will she choose? And, more to the point, is the choice even hers to make?
This is it. The story that started it all. If you've never read it before, enjoy!
