Judith Fair is a live variety night featuring performances by some of Vancouver’s top womxn and non-binary artists.  The 2020 line up included:

- A collage of spoken word poetry on the experience of collective grief in the fight for racial justice.

- Hilarious stand up comedy about life as a mother, wife, educator and BIPOC.

- A compelling history of Sign Language and examination of contemporary audism.

- An African-Diaspora performance ceremony incorporating the oral tradition of Akan storytelling and Ashanti song.

- A retro burlesque routine where "Good Sandy" meets "Bad Sandy".

- Interactive music performance challenging western gender constructs and roles through Egyptian folk songs.

- The Republic of Inclusion: the humorous tale of light-sensitive Lily at a disability conference, and the irony of what happens when she tries to partake.

- A fight between two Gods of War who “play” with two human souls in their version of Mortal Kombat.

- Dreamy musical poetry encompassing experiences with womanhood as a femme lesbian.

This year's event was produced on behalf of Alley Theatre by Jess Amy Shead, and Co-Curated by Krys Yuan and Jess Amy Shead.
