Featuring...

Dad

Chuck the sudoku and the gender binary aside, for the award-winning-queer-reparenting-extravaganza: Dad! Fresh from a ramble over Ditchling Beacon, the king of gore-tex is here to accidentally bump your funny bone and purposefully sneeze unfathomably loudly. Armed with endless slices of toast, a pat on the back and a thumbs up for trans rights, the bank of Dad is here to pay for all his kids gender-affirming surgery.

Winner of Brighton’s Big Drag Pageant 2023, Top of the Slops finalist 2023, Man Up finalist 2022, he has toured his solo show Dad Jokes at Femfest, Brighton Fringe, Powerhouse Festival, VAULT and Edinburgh Fringe.
