Content Advice
A cocky gay clown in therapy. A clueless detective. An X-Factor sob story.

Pop culture and queer drama collide against a rainbow vomit backdrop.

A surreal, fast-paced and darkly funny exploration of a queer relationship gone bad. Blending clowning, drag and a subversive take on the trauma-parading solo show, Plewds is about the lengths we’ll go to avoid what’s right in front of us, in a story where the villains don’t look like villains.

Being queer is the best, right?
