Before the sashes and strippers, there were sacred dances, hair offerings, and goddess worship. In this episode, Monika O’Hanlon traces the wild history of the hen’s night — from Ancient Greece to modern-day karaoke chaos. We explore global pre-wedding rituals, feminist twists, and how queering the hen’s night is reshaping tradition. It’s heartfelt, hilarious, and occasionally penis-shaped.
