Cabrolé

Cabrolé was a project produced by Eric Longa Company and directed by Pat Langa and originally performed at Stanley Arts Centre in which a series of cabaret artists working in different mediums developed a new piece in conversation with the world of flamenco and queer Spanish culture. My piece was based around an imagined queer deity based on the poems of Lorca. It was the Saint of Odd Numbers with an act that focussed on connecting different generations of queer political struggle and featuring different versions both of the disco classic ‘I Will Survive’. Costume designed by me and built by Lambdog. Photos by Jon Archdeacon.

SETH

SETH was a piece made for Diverse Alarums – a cabaret produced by Marlborough Productions and lead by Emma Frankland and Subira Joy. It was a work developed as a conversation between performance artists and academics to respond to the idea of queer histories and was performed at The Attenborough Centre for the Creative Arts in 2025. My piece looked into palaeolithic queerness, imagining a trans goddess that existed before recorded history. The performance itself recounted an experience I had being followed home late at night and a dreaming I had about being saved by this goddess. I then emerged in the costume – headpiece by me and dress by Lambdog and lipsynced (with all four heads) to the song ‘SETH’ by Tom Rassmussen.

The Angler Fish

The Angler Fish performance was a piece made for the Be Gay, Boycott Eurovision event in 2025. It was made to be a piece about hope in the face of dark times and drew on the recent viral sensation of a small deep sea angler fish that had somehow swam to the surface and been discovered by some fishermen. This little fish became a strange little symbol of hope and I expanded on this meaning for the event by creating a little light up mask of this fish (a TikTok I made detailing this process can be found here) and using it to lipsync to ‘No Light, No Light’ by Florence and the Machine as well as adding the quote by the Palestinian poet Mahmoud Darwish – “We Palestinians suffer from an incurable disease called ‘hope’”.

Tar Monster

The Tar Monster was a costume and act developed for a Scooby Doo themed drag night hosted by Ham It Up productions and performed at The Royal Vauxhall Tavern and The Clapham Grand. I was commissioned to be one of the masked monsters and I chose the Tar Monster from the early seasons of Scooby Doo. I did a Lipsync to Florence and the Machine’s ‘Girl With One Eye’ with a mask I made with a movable jaw. I was unmasked later in the show to reveal I was in fact JK Rowling.

The Ballad of Heather and Bob

The Ballad of Heather and Bob was a film and live performance I developed in lockdown. I made the footage using a cut out filming technique I invented involving cutting shapes from green screens and filming my facial features and body parts through and collaging them all together in editing software. The original film is here with the live version including a chorus sung by two opera singers – Natasha Agarwal and Samuel Lom as well as accordion by Josh Middleton. The song was written and composed by me.

Lobster Girlfriend

Lobster Girlfriend is a regularly performed cabaret piece I do in which I sing a slightly edited version of ‘I Want to Be Your Girlfriend’ by Ezra Furman but as a lobster prom queen who wants to be your lobster girlfriend. This act was initally made for Miss Ellaneous and has been performed at The Southbank Centre, The Divine, VFD, Wilderness Festival, The Piehouse Cooperative and many more venues.

The Ballad of Matt Hancock

The Ballad of Matt Hancock is a retired act that was developed for Cabaret Roulette in 2023. We were tasked with developing an act around the theme of ‘roulette’ and I wrote an original song about the former health secretary Matt Hancock making a deal with the devil for fortune and fame but with the price of his public humiliation following the Covid pandemic and his mishandling of it. The demo track, featuring cello by Mal J, can be found below. Photos by Matti

Fuck the Halls

‘Fuck the Halls’ was an original Christmas song I first performed at the Not Another Drag Competition Holiday Allstars Special in 2022. It went on to win me the competition and I performed it again the following year with a choir of NADC alumni and Mal on cello. It was a very special moment. The audio is included below.

The Madness of the Heart

The Madness of the Heart was a solo show I created and was performed once on Halloween 2022 on The Puppet Barge. It was a collection of some of my previous pieces of work along with a few new songs (Including The Cannibal song, Vacuum Decay and The Tenneesee Tomboy and the Gold Dust Girl). The show was a guided trip across the Styx to the underworld and considering the different worlds of failed love and heartbreak along the way whilst an unknown horror lurks in the depths. I was accompanied by the ever talented Mal J and Josh Middleton.
