There’s lots more varied queer theatre to enjoy in Brighton and London in the coming weeks.
Tits & Teeth present their latest show, Thick & Tight – a combination of drag, dance, satire, mime and lipsync – at Brighton Dome’s Corn Exchange on February 21. Barbara Cartland, Andy Warhol, Grace Jones and Kathak dancers are all represented along with Churchill.
Also at the Dome, Julian Clary appears in A Fistful Of Clary on June 14. He’s billed as “renowned homosexual and national trinket,” in a show which he says has a Western theme from “the man with no name”. Tickets for both shows HERE
Hit play F**king Men, by Tony winner Joe DiPietro, returns to Waterloo East Theatre from April 13 – May 26. It’s a modern re-telling of Schnitzler’s infamous classic La Ronde, and it’s a fascinating, funny and provocative story of sex, love and connection. It follows 10 men through a series of erotic encounters that change their lives. It charts their precarious journeys as gay men as they navigate their conflicting desires for the comfort of monogamy and the thrill of sexual freedom. Tickets HERE
Tanya Hyde stars along with other drag royalty for one night only at Brighton’s Centre Stage bar in a Sondheim tribute show Really Old Friends. It’s a ticketed event on February 26 and also stars Mrs Moore, Dave Lynn and Kara Van Park. Tickets HERE.
Actor, writer and director Alexis Gregory has a new show in the studio space at the new King’s Head Theatre is Islington. FutureQueer is an amalgam of stand-up comedy, DIY queer lecture, pop culture commentary and meditation on disco music as a metaphor for queer survival. It’s 2071 and the whole world is queer – there’s even a statue of George Michael on Hampstead Heath.
Some 47 years earlier Donna Summer recorded queer anthem I Feel Love. Armed with a vintage Donna vinyl, Alexis decides to find out what’s going on. The show runs from February till March 2. Tickets HERE

It’s a tangle of contradictions that is sure to totally engage its audiences. Tickets HERE
