Description

A bin man swaps steel-toed boots for stilettos to chase his dream of becoming a drag queen. This raucous one-person comedy play combines monologue, song and (of course) drag in a love letter to hard-working Northerners and gender euphoria, based on writer Joe Leather's real-life experiences working as a Refuse Loader through lockdown. 'An irresistible, uplifting, Northern drag odyssey' ***** (ToDoList.org.uk). 'A show that you cannot help but fall in love with' **** (BroadwayWorld.com). OffFest Finalist 2023.
