Taboo-busting performance artist and comedian Lucy McCormick is back with her most ambitious medium-concept queer cabaret spectacular.
In a despairing world, Lucy attempts to create community and connection the only way she knows how- through a chaotic mix of pole dancing, cat impersonation, a clairvoyant and some quick re-working of social policy.
A master of theatrical manipulation and crushing personal vulnerability, Lucy leaves her audiences needing a hug, a cry and an immediate shower.
“★★★★★ “All hail the queen of alt gay cabaret – shameless, unhinged, and quite brilliant” The Skinny
★★★★ “a fearless, visceral performer, always in the here and now, compelling for her unpredictability” Chortle”
★★★★ “A wild ride” The Stage
