Staying in Leith and want to support a local show? Or perhaps you're a local tired of the Fringe and avoiding the busy central locations? We've got you!!
The ONLY local drag king show is every Friday this August! 2 whole hours of manly mayhem. A different line-up every week, with a mix of local legends and and visiting kings.
Is masculinity in crisis? Do drag kings have the answer? Join Dom Perignon, Jack The Strapper and guests as they tackle these questions through comedy, dance and lipsync, in a witty, irreverent take on the challenges of modern manhood. Ranging from the phallic symbolism of French cuisine to neo-political drag burlesque, this show is one to share with the lads.
