How to Mate - The Ted XXX Talk

About How to Mate - The Ted XXX Talk

Following the success of last year’s How to Flirt, Daisy is set to return as Guildfordian iPod-DJ Steve Porters with an all-new solo comedy drag show. How to Mate promises to be equally electrifying and will have audiences in stitches as Daisy breaks boundaries and offers a witty exploration of themes such as identity, gender binaries, and toxic masculinity.

Daisy won Europe’s Biggest Drag King competition MAN UP in 2022. Daisy has since been nominated as a SCREENSHOT 2023 finalist and is in development with SISTER and SOUTH OF THE RIVER PICTURES to develop Steve Porter’s mockumentary.
