In part two of my preview of Brighton Fringe, I give you tips for more queer and quirky shows that might amuse, shock and educate.
Dates and times vary, so in no particular order, here they are:
C’est Magnifique is a love letter to cabaret and musical theatre. Be swept along as our characters whisk you off for moments of unexpected pleasure.
Magic Dyke features an unforgettable sizzling drag king. It’s hot; it’s hilarious. It’s Magic Mike for dykes.
The annual visit by those cross dressing lipsync stars The Lady Boys of Bangkok is back for another musical romp through your favourite tunes and frocks.
Second Class Queer is an intimate, thought-provoking performance that’s as bold as it is heartfelt.
Mannequim – The Ploem – a woman and a trans woman navigate the physicality of gender, as framed by society – surely it couldn’t be more topical or important.
Monsters, A Queer Myth. Through mythological characters and a personal twist, David tells four tales as they should be heard: QueerAF.
Tethered is a comedic two-hander, exploring polyamory, loss and queer motherhood.
Boyz Nite is an evening celebrating trans men, trans masc and butch non-binary performers with comedy, drag and poetry – possibly my favourite pick in anticipation.
My favourite from the Fringe launch party, All Aboard! An Evening with Pearl and Dean takes us to the world’s campest cruise ship to laugh, sing and swing the night away with the most heterosexual couple in showbiz.
Queer As F*ck Cabaret is outrageously good circus, drag and burlesque. It promises to be gritty, camp and celebratory.

Look out for comprehensive reviews of these and other delights only at Scene magazine – it’s going to be a hectic gay May.
Finally, during Fringe but not part of it, Resound Voices present their latest concert Nerds on 9 & 10 May at Brighton’s Chapel Royal. It’s a celebration of all things nerdy in song – expect tunes from Realm Of Zelda, Halo, Coward, Flanders and Swann, Sondheim, Game Of Thrones – you get the idea. Tickets HERE
