The Boys

Take a gander at our brilliant Kings and the geniuses behind them.

Scott Free

Scott Free is a scruffy poser. You'll probably catch him swaggering down Shoreditch High Street, whistling a nonchalant tune. But that cocky exterior can often give way to a sensitive gooey centre and, if he trusts you, he might even let you ruffle his hair. In his spare time, Scott enjoys baking ginger-bread men and dreaming of being a rock star.

She is interested in mental health and neurodiversity, campaigns that combat stigma and new ideas for how to create awesome mental health care in different cultural contexts. She’s also into Almodóvar films, set design, queer performance and documentary film making. Oh, and she is still striving to create the perfect sock penis. One day…

Thrustin Limbersnake's sexy smoulder and smooth moves will leave you screaming for more. Whether you want to get your body rocked harder than ever before or you're a sexy señorita that's in need of night of romance, Thrustin' is sure to sweep you off your feet.

Loose Willis

Loose Willis: electrifying performer, hilarious raconteur, erotic enigma and currently residing in his car. When not doing questionable things for money, Loose enjoys meeting his fans, hiding from his debt collectors and nachos.

Katy Bulmer has performed stand up and improvised comedy for many years. She is Footlights alumni and has been shortlisted in both the BBC Comedy and Laughing Horse New Act of the Year competitions. She's quite shy out of drag, you probably won't recognise her.

Izzy Aman

Ishmael (Izzy) Aman is a lone wolf, a wanderer, a lover. His passions include women, wine, men, fine literature and real good lovin’. He spends his days staring, pensively, into the middle distance. Many desire him, none can tie him down.

~

Vic Aubrey is an experienced arts professional working across a breadth of fields including theatre, film, cabaret, opera and ballet. When they’re not creating shows with Pecs or conjuring costumes for the Royal Ballet you can find them researching queer fashion history, knitting and plunging into a body of water.

Mr Goldenballs

Mr. Goldenballs, as he prefers to be called, is a highflying, ball-busting, womanizing city boy who likes to spice things up in the office with a little strip tease after his first coffee of the morning. Banker come strip artist by day, by night Mr. Goldenballs is a regular on the street boxing circuit, packing a mighty fine punch under the guise of his every so sexy alter ego, the Latino lover El Matadorrrr.

Helena is currently becoming an anthropologist at the University of Cambridge and next year she will begin a PhD in Anthropology at University College London. She is active on the Parisian drag king scene, and has performed in the burlesque-cabaret soirées “Drag My King”, “Délires Burlesques” and “Amour, Drag and Rock n’Roll”. She is interested in marginal masculinities, semiotic ideologies and French women. She also enjoys indulging in unseemly language, public nudity and other un-ladylike practices. 

John Travulva

John Travulva is the queer Glaswegian comic of your dreams.  He fled the toxic masculinity of his small-town, rural beginnings to don boots, braces and a microphone in the peace of the big city, and he’s never looked back.  He’s here to be quietly macho, discuss injustice, and to respect the hell out of you.

Johnny Gash

Johnny Gash wants nothing more than to sit in some dark bar with a blues band, singing songs to ease your pain, and his. Hailing from the swamps of Louisiana, he found life in the rhythm and blues of New Orleans. He now lives alone in a cabin in the woods where he contemplates life with a whisky and an open door.

Fiona Shaw is a doctor currently practicing in Manchester. She is relatively new to the stage but feels she has found her calling in drag. The quality of her contralto voice perfectly suits the deep, resonant demands of songs traditionally written for men. In her free time, she enjoys spending time on the sofa with books, family and friends.
