A cabaret of Queer performance, and live art, not seen before in the City of Milton Keynes!
Dust off your f*ck me pumps and bring a sense of humour and curiosity, as a band of Queer artists and performers invite you to join a night of delights, wanders and spectacle’s as you:
Hop on a feminist roller-coaster ride through the history of gynaecology – no anaesthesia, no apology; take a detour to the castle of ‘Sweet Transvestite’ in a love letter to The Rocky Horror Picture Show; join a direct call to action, speaking bluntly on the fear of being queer; and a chance to get down and dirty under the bonnet, with Drag Mechanic Natalie Spanner.
Lady Flower Theatre
‘That's The Spot’
She comes first (then second… and maybe again). Dust off your f*ck me pumps and come along with your sense of humour, curiosity and maybe a towel as things may get stimulating. We will be getting down and dirty as we dive head first into all the sticky situations and wet patches of pleasure, pain and everything in between, shamelessly exploring what makes women tick, purr and scream (with joy… of course). This work in progress is part comedy, part musical and all climax as female pleasure takes centre stage… you may just leave buzzing for more.

Queerly Beloved
‘The Womb has Spoken’
A radical feminist rollercoaster where a bold new bill collides with outdated ignorance. One woman's unheard pain exposes a healthcare system that treats ovaries like optional accessories, while the history of gynaecology gets prodded, poked, and put on blast - no anaesthesia, no apology.
CJ Halse
"I'm Just Brad: from icon to bi-con"
When Brad Majors' life is turned upside down by an unexpected visit to the castle of a "Sweet Transvestite", he must wrestle with many things, not least his own identity and sexuality. A love letter to The Rocky Horror Picture Show, queer awakenings, and the power of cult classics, CJ's piece 'I'm Just Brad' is sure to delight fans of the iconic film, as well as complete virgins. I see you shiver with antici... pation!
Noah Pantano’s
Pup Play
In this short stand-alone excerpt from Pantano's award-winning play Pup Play: A Queer Pseudo-Lecture (of sorts), Professor Handler David tells a story of his ex-partner and a fight between them that occurred at Pride. This monologue is a direct call to action, speaking bluntly on the fear of being queer. Before the monologue, Pantano will perform one of the show's songs, "Throw Me A Bone" by punk artist Jake and the Nowhere.
Noah Alfred Pantano is a queer artist studying for his PhD in Theatre Studies at the University of Essex. His play, Pup Play: A Queer Pseudo-Lecture (of sorts), won five awards and tours around the world, raising over $1400 (so far) for LGBTQ+ charities. Pantano was awarded runner-up for "Activist of the Year" at the National Queer Student Awards. He is the current reigning International Mister Superhero Fetish. His MA Dissertation and queer horror play Standing On A Nail was the best-selling play of Colchester Fringe in 2023. Pantano is infamous for his post in-yer-face queer theatre style, which, while intense, prides itself on its radical queerness, unusual staging, and brutal honesty. His new show, Beating (Off) Superheroes, a companion piece to Pup Play, explores superhero roleplaying and non-monogamy and premieres October 2025 at Colchester Fringe.

Fixing
(Performing online on Saturday night)
co-created by Matt and Peader Kirk.
Drag mechanic Natalie Spanner would like to teach you all about holistic car care – how to look after our cars, but also ourselves – and invite you to get down and dirty under the bonnet.
She’s also here to help Matt navigate childhood memories of the time just after Matt’s parents divorced, when everything seemed like an adventure. The time Matt and their dad were closest.
These two worlds collide in a show which is both outrageous and touching, laugh-out-loud and heartfelt, interactive and caring. A show about family breakups, learning car maintenance and choosing the right shade of lipstick to do it in.
Matt will be performing a reduced version.
