Following his sensational retrospective David Hoyle presents a very special series of performances in the heart of Canal Street. Expect polemic, pathos, provocative politicking and high comedy.
As a cabaret star, actor and visual artist, Hoyle’s infamous alter-ego ‘The Divine David’ transported him from radical alternative settings in the '80s to the studios of Channel 4 in the '90s. For the last four decades, Hoyle has queered the boundaries between live art, performance, theatre and cabaret – conquering nightlife around the world and working extensively in film and TV. A major, three-week retrospective of his career to date was recently held at Aviva Studios in Manchester.
