***Trouser-wearing characters,*** written and performed by **Rose Collis**, is a unique mixture of music, history and comedy — an irresistible blend of stories, vignettes and songs (evergreens and originals) about some of her favourite, eclectic ‘trouser-wearing characters’, from 50s media star **Nancy** **Spain** to masquerader ‘Colonel’ **Victor Barker**, cabaret legend **Douglas Byng** to the ‘f\*\*king lady’ herself, actress **Coral Browne.**

Since making its world premiere at the Brighton Fringe 2012, the show has appeared at festivals and venues throughout the UK, including Hot August Fringe @ The RVT (London); Manchester Pride; Wigtown Book Festival (Scotland); Littlehampton Arts Festival; Colliers Wood Arts Festival and Mosaic Cat (Margate).

Earlier this year, *Trouser-Wearing Characters* had a hugely successful five-week tour of New Zealand and Australia, appearing at Auckland Fringe, NZWellington Fringe, Sydney Mardi Gras and Adelaide Fringe — the second biggest arts festival in the world.

Now, in a slightly refreshed version, **Rose Collis** brings the show back home for two special appearances for Brighton Pride 2013 Arts & Film Festival:

**Event:** *Trouser wearing characters*

**Where:** Emporium Theatre, 88 London Road, Brighton

**When:** Friday, July 26 and Saturday July 27

**Time:** 7.30pm

**Tickets:** £12
