With:

**ARCHIE HENDERSON**
Multi award-winning musical comedian ARCHIE HENDERSON joins us THIS SATURDAY! Winner: IYAF Best of Brighton Fringe Comedy, 2018. 'Radiated a delightfully daft energy' (Chortle.co.uk). 'Immense talent and fantastic energy' (Edinburgh Festivals Magazine).

**MARK ANTHONY**
The first Drag King to win the prestigious Not Another Drag Competition, Mark Anthony is on a mission to rhinestone masculinity and prove that any body can be a heart-throb. Informed by his non-binary identity and love of cheesy music, Mark uses drag, comedy and a fresh combination of neo - and classical burlesque to tackle issues like gender dysphoria, trans-ness and toxic masculinity.

**KATE BUSHFLY**
A spectacular surreal tribute the lady herself, especially for any who missed seeing Kate Bush on her recent tour! This big insect wants to offer you her consolation prize! Expect to be singing along!
