Welcome to.. The Molting Season!
A new variety long form drag scratch night inviting drag artists to develop their short form acts into full on stage shows! Hosted by Matti (producer of sold-out Cabaret Car Crash) and Bard The Beholder (as seen at The Vaults, The Pleasance, Southbank Centre and more), this show will include an iconic lineup to perform their 10-30 minute pieces. We also invite a mentor for each event to allow our acts to develop their pieces to the next level. This event, we've invited drag king sensation Bi-Curious George!
If you are not familiar with Bi-Curious George; After winning NADC in 2022, George went on to produce his own night, “George’s Magical Menagerie”, which led him to create his solo show Queer Planet that debuted at The VAULT festival in 2023. Queer Planet went on to be a show at the Southbank Centre, toured the UK in 2024, had a run at the Edinburgh Fringe, and is now preparing for his 2025 UK tour. George also produces a variety scratch night called “Free Range”, currently at The Glitch.
WHAT'S Long Form Drag? Think of it as:
- A snippet of a solo show
- A creative experiment pushing your drag into new formats
- Work that's gender expressive, political, comedic, or skill-based (dance, puppetry, ventriloquism, circus – you name it!)
WHEN? 13TH MAY, 7PM
