Spring has Sprung! The days are getting brighter, and we’re getting camper with some of the best in the subversive UK burlesque and drag scene. In a glittering array of lip syncing, striptease and comedy, OxPHWOARd is an explosion of queer, neo and boundary-pushing cabaret: from the fierce and feisty to the silly and surreal.
With a kitschy approach and a killer soundtrack, this charming show promises to gleefully annihilate preconceptions about gender, race, sexuality, and what it means to be sexy with a wry smile and a face full of glitter.
Featuring a diverse host of drag darlings and burlesque babes, and the odd party game too, we’re asking you to think strong, think silly, and think sexy.
