Episode Details

Emily Glaze is bringing her raw, powerful one-woman show “Basic Bald Btch” to the Edinburgh Fringe, where she confronts alopecia areata—the autoimmune condition that stripped her of all her hair by age 21. What began as a short monologue became a full-length performance fueled by her need to stop hiding and reclaim her power on stage. Her bold moment of removing her wig mid-show sparked thunderous applause and cemented her mission: to celebrate the messy, cyclical, beautiful reality of alopecia and uplift anyone who’s ever felt invisible because of their body. At the world’s largest arts festival, Glaze isn’t just performing—she’s declaring that being bald, different, or “basic” is not a flaw, but a form of fierce, unapologetic self-love.
