< Return to events listings
14 - 16
Wasteman @ Pleasance Theatre

A bin man swaps steel-toed boots for stilettos to chase his dream of becoming a drag queen. This award-winning one-person play combines monologue, song and (of course) drag in a love letter to hard-working Northerners and gender euphoria, based on writer Joe Leather's real-life experiences working as a refuse loader through lockdown. It had a five star run at the Edinburgh Fringe last year and was featured on STV and Sky News. When life give you garbage, make it gorgeous... 'An irresistible, uplifting, Northern drag odyssey' To-do List London ... 'A show that you cannot help but fall in love with' BroadwayWorld
