Content Advice
A bin-man swaps steel-toed boots for stilettos to chase his dream of becoming a drag queen.

Based on writer/performer Joe Leather’s real-life experiences working as a refuse loader during lockdown, this Offie-Award Winning, one-person comedic play is a love letter to both hard-working Northerners and gender euphoria through monologue, music, and drag.

'An irresistible, uplifting, Northern drag odyssey'
To Do List
'if you have ever had a dream, or struggled to be who you are, this show is sure to connect with you'
