The diminutive doyennes of drag, No Tall Men, are back to bring you a one night only spectacular of Short Kings, Lanky Queens, and Average Peasants, all in the name of raising some money for Beat: The Uks eating disorder charity.

If we've learned one thing from tall men, it's that, whether you're dealing with doorframes, low bridges, or your own mental health, you've got to Mind Your Head.

Around 1.25 million people in the UK have an eating disorder. Anorexia has the highest mortality rate of any psychiatric disorder, yet on average over three years pass between the symptoms of an eating disorder emerging and treatment starting. Eating disorders do discriminate, yet LGBTQIA+ individuals experience higher rates of eating disorders compared to their heterosexual and cisgender peers. These illnesses steal childhoods, devastate relationships and pull families apart. But, with the right treatment and support, recovery is possible. Beat aims to end the pain caused by these illnesses and ensure that as many people as possible are able to live in freedom.

So grab your hard hat, get some money in your pockets, and get ready to duck as the #NoTallMen ladz (R Graham and Aiden Strickland) present 'Mind Your Head: A Queer Cabaret'.

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.

Theatre MAD
The Make A Difference Trust fights HIV & AIDS one stage at a time. Their UK and International grant-making strategy is based on five criteria that raise awareness, educate, and provide care and support for the most vulnerable in society. A host of fundraising events, including Bucket Collections, Late Night Cabarets, West End Eurovision, West End Bares and A West End Christmas continue to raise funds for projects both in the UK and Sub-Saharan Africa.
