FEATURING:

JUST ANNOUNCED - Jonny Woo

Jonny Woo is arguably the queen of London's alternative drag scene. From Gay Bingo to Tranny Talent Night, Woo has stamped his mark across London and New York as a host, compere, DJ and outrageous performer over the past decade. Lauded by New York performance artist Taylor Mac ("I saw Johnny Woo and I realised that drag can be anything you want it to be"), his hilarious pop-culture parodies - such as Stark Dallas Naked and Night of a Thousand Jay Astons - have rocketed him to the ranks of one of the most ourtageous, boldest alternative performance artists in the UK.
