Jonny Woo’s Un-Royal Variety

He spent three years in New York from 1999 making performance art cabaret with Brandon Olson and, inspired by parties at The Cock and Jackie 60, he returned to London to unleash his unique style of performance and drag with his party Radio Egypt at The George and Dragon and new cabaret spot, Bistrotheque. Jonny Woo has been making solo and group shows since 2003 including ‘A Night Of A Thousand Jay Astons’, ‘International Woman of Mister E’, both of which were made at Bistrotheque and ‘The Wild Side / Transformer’ (as Lou Reed) and ‘Wonder Woo-Man’ all of which he presented at the Edinburgh Fringe and Soho Theatre. He wrote and starred in ‘All Star Brexit Cabaret’ with Richard Thomas which enjoyed a sell-out run with Assembly Edinburgh Fringe in 2018 and was presented at The London Coliseum. He worked with Le Gateau Chocolat on Night at The Musicals internationally, he performed in Alexis Gregory’s Sex Crime at Soho Theatre and The Glory and most recently he played Cleopatra in Antony and Cleopatra at his venue The Divine. He is currently writing a play ‘Silvertown’ about gay life in 1960’s Docklands. He works in clubs and cabaret in London and internationally and is known infamously as the host of iconic club The NYC Downlow at Glastonbury Festival since 2007. His newest solo show, Suburbia recently premiered at Soho Theatre and then to Summerhall as part of their Fringe programme. Jonny has presented his Un-Royal Variety three times previously at The Hackney Empire and is excited to bring it to Soho Theatre, Walthamstow where rising stars from his local queer community will appear alongside the shining international headliners.
