Several years into the future from 2023, gender has been outlawed. The only citizens who are allowed to deviate from the monogendered identity-neutrality are registered performers, like high-energy removals company Drag n Drop, run by licensed drag artists Mike Drop and Dragona Budjet (its pronounced bou-jzay, dahling). Combining drag, music, comedy, spoken word and improv, Drag n Drop peeks behind the rhinestoned curtain of some of the universes biggest questions and mysteries. Is a world without gender better? Are the feminine and masculine tired old pieces of furniture that need throwing out? Or is their life in them yet? What is a drag queen removals operative doing talking about quantum physics? And whats happened to Mike Drop? Featuring soon-to-be-hit songs* Diamonds Arent a Girls Best Friend (Anymore!), Quantum Leap of Faith, Your Dress Looks Better On Me and Glitch Bitch, as well as the Drag n Drop theme tune, of course! From the genderfluid pen of Ri Baroche, this one-person musical theatre show will excite, provoke, delight, disgust and question everything, and make the audience very much a part of the furniture.

*Based on projected neurological streaming figures from the year 2069

Drag n Drop is one of FemFest 2023's Early Career Artists.

Since you’re here…

… we have a small favour to ask. We don't want your money to support a hack's bar bill at Abattoir, but if you have a pound or two spare, we really encourage you to support a good cause. If this review has either helped you discover a gem or avoid a turkey, consider doing some good that will really make a difference.

You can donate to the charity of your choice, but if you're looking for inspiration, there are three charities we really like.

Show me the charities

Mama Biashara
Kate Copstick’s charity, Mama Biashara, works with the poorest and most marginalised people in Kenya. They give grants to set up small, sustainable businesses that bring financial independence and security. That five quid you spend on a large glass of House White? They can save someone’s life with that. And the money for a pair of Air Jordans? Will take four women and their fifteen children away from a man who is raping them and into a new life with a moneymaking business for Mum and happiness for the kids.
