About the works
- A- Hole
Nathaniel fell out of love with his a-hole for a while… it’s been at the centre of some traumatic moments so it’s understandable. But after making lemonade out of lemons by sharing his story with the world onstage and screen he’s finally ready to fall back in love with the most intimate part of his body. Delivered in Nathaniel’s signature ‘hilarious and heartfelt’ style, A-Hole picks up where previous shows First Time and Toxic left off, chronicling the final chapter on the journey to finding true pride. Join him for this work-in-progress sharing as he untangles the messiness of the lingering societal shame about anal sex and its impact on gay and bisexual men in the 21st Century.
- I Was Dancing in the Lesbian Bar
I Was Dancing in the Lesbian Bar combines Holly Redford-Jones’s three greatest passions; music, comedy, and lesbians. This cabaret show is a sonic love letter to Lesbian Bars of a bye-gone era and a celebration of queer women of the past, present and future. Drawing from personal experience and nostalgic tales shared by queer women from all walks of life, Redford Jones asks where have all the Lesbian Bars gone? How do you know when you’re in a Lesbian Bar? And can I still be a lesbian with clinically diagnosed RSI in my fingers? (Asking for a friend.)
- Pop, Soul & Glitter
King Navassa brings us Pop, Soul & Glitter; a soulful celebration, blending timeless classics and fresh sounds with King Navassa’s joyous flare. His masterful voice elevates familiar favourites, soaring from smooth and soulful to vibrant and uplifting, creating an unforgettable musical journey.
