Professor Maxim and Mercury are feeling the heat and might have to commit to wearing less clothes for their next show at Crazy Coqs.

For one night only, we are joined by a glorious line up to celebrate Pride by spending as evening with q***r icons.

July 4th

Please tell everyone - and let’s fill the Crazy Coqs with gorgeous q***r pride ♥️

ANNOUNCEMENT RE Q***RSTORY OCTOBER 19

The recent update to government guidelines and rules regarding shows during COVID will NOT cancel our Q***r Cabaret Lecture on Monday.

THE SHOW WILL GO ON!

However, in accordance with these guidelines, we and Phoenix Arts Club have to make some alterations to tables and bookings. You should have heard [or will be] from the venue if you booked a ticket requesting some info on your bubble. See below.

"The Phoenix is operating a “Strict Bubble” seating policy. Please make sure you only book tickets for your table with people who are within your “Household Bubble”. If you have booked tickets at a table with another household please contact us by email to have this booking split into the appropriate number of tables. This won’t be a problem at all. [email protected]"

Professor Maxim and I are moved and so grateful to have sold out the show. As artists, in this current climate, every person attending is directly helping us to continue, to survive and to create.

If the rules have affected your ability to come on Monday, we hope that we can adapt the booking to fit or that we will see you soon.

Thank you all for your support and love for Q***rstory during this time.

Guess what's back?!?!

I am so excited to announce that exactly FOUR WEEKS TODAY [Monday October 19th] Professor Maxim and I are returning to the stage with Q***RSTORY.

And this time we are channeling live lounge vibes as we bring our cabaret-lecture to the absolutely glorious Phoenix Arts Club!

Obviously it goes without saying that all government guidelines and restrictions will be adhered to. It is totally possible to get a q***r education AND be socially distanced, and the team at Phoenix have an incredible infrastructure in place to look after everyone.

So PLEASE do spread the news far and wide and let's sell out. One of my very last shows before lockdown was the Q***R LATES x Q***RSTORY night at Theatre Royal Stratford East and it was full and fabulous. To return to the Q***r Lecture with a sold out audience would be incredible.

We've even written some new numbers whilst we've been locked away!

All tickets are sold by the table [of 2, 4 or 6] so get your q***r bubble together and come down for some learning on a Monday.

We cannot wait to see you all! ❤️

It's tomorrow!!!!!

We can barely contain our excitement - and there's more to announce!!!

We are being joined by international and incredible artists Dale Moran and Metaraph!!!

And we couldn't be more honoured to announce this addition to our icons show. They will be dancing the house down darling and, from what I've been told today, it's very nearly a full house.

So SHARE SHARE SHARE and come be a part of q***r history, honouring icons from the past and celebrating icons from today's scene.

These two are going to BLOW YOUR MIND!

A little birdie has also told me that Dale shall be bringing a very special person with him. Oh yes, a Pas de Deux!

Two more days!!!!!

I can hear the orchestra playing Tchaikovski already - which is exactly what they’ll be doing THIS THURSDAY as beauty and grace in the form of Joseph Keeley - Circus Artist soars through the air.

Dancer, gymnast, artist. Keeley is a master of elegantly transporting an audience to far off, imaginary places through their exquisite musicality and their breathtaking skill.

How on earth have we managed to get all these superstars in one place I’ll never know. All I’m sure of is that it’ll be a one night only affair you do NOT want to miss!

It's and WOOF have we got a gorgeous addition to our line up today!!!

Superstar circus artist and activist Sadiq Ali shall be joining us on Thursday to pay homage to an absolute icon and we can barely contain our excitement.

This absolute mega babe wows audiences internationally and can be seen as a regular part of London's most fabulous cabaret at Cafe de Paris, as well as popping up [and down] a pole everywhere that'll let him. And who wouldn't! A regular on the kink scene, the q***r scene and the glitzy west end of cabaret we are so honoured to have Sadiq Sadiq as part of our little q***r history jaunt.

Sadiq really will rock you! [Hint hint]

It's THIS THURSDAY!!!

It is Saturday and in five more sleeps we are going to be having one hell of a q***r party with icons new paying homage to icons past and honestly we cannot wait!

We are so excited that today we are gonna announce TWO SUPERSTARS!

We are beyond lucky to have the mind blowing talents of Adam Perchard and Rosalind James joining us for ONE NIGHT ONLY!

Adam, or should we say Dr Perchard, is an operatic angel on the cabaret scene and a subversive genius across the London (and international) scene. From The basement of the Glory to the Soho Theatre, via television studios and grand halls, Perchard continues to thrill audiences as a solo artist or as part of collectives including the rip roaringly successful S*x Shells! They are an actual superstar and you would be mad to miss them channeling Klaus Nomi AND David Bowie!

Rosalind James, west end star and vocal powerhouse, is an international diamond, having appeared as some of the most sensational characters in musicals including Les Mis [London] and Hair [in Frankfurt]. This absolute goddess is also a song writer, working on her own incredible musical Stop the Stigma, fighting bigotry surrounding the subject of S*xual Health. James will be bringing us two absolute icons on Thursday: Ma Rainey AND Dusty Springfield.

So don't wait to grab those tickets because they are going fast and we want to fill this show with incredible humans, all there to celebrate q***r history!

There are also a limited number of VIP tickets to come and hang out with these superstars after the show.

😍😍😍

IT'S ONE WEEK TODAY!!!

Have you got your tickets to the Q***rstory tour of icons yet?

Like this one?

'The soul sister of burlesque', Demi Noire is a burlesque heavyweight on the scene being a regular part of shows and collectives including House of Burlesque, The Cocoa Butter Club and the Cafe de Paris long running shows and is currently NUMBER 2 IN THE UK. A choreographer, dancer, clown and fire performer, Noire is equal parts an entertainer and an activist, with her work leaving audiences stunned and coming from a political stance of representation within the performance industry.

As a dancer at the Folies Bergère in Paris, Josephine Baker became an icon of the Jazz age. Causing a sensation with her ‘Danse Sauvage’ wearing little but a girdle of artificial bananas, Baker left behind her native USA for a life-long love affair with Paris, and used her fame and connections to aid the French Resistance during World War II, and support the civil rights movement during the 1950s.

TELL EVERYONE AND SEE YOU ON THURSDAY!

After the gorgeous evening we had last night at Tramshed kicking off LGBTQ+ history month in style, we CANNOT WAIT FOR OUR EXTRAVAGANZA ON THE 20TH!

And so in celebration, we want to shout about the fact Marlene Dietrich is joining us for one night only in the form of phenomenal Peter Groom!

With a career that spanned the 1910s to the 1980s, the glamorous and sophisticated Marlene Dietrich fashioned herself into an icon who carried with her the smoky decadence of one who spent years honing their craft in the cabarets of Weimar Berlin. Heavy-lidded, husky-voiced, Dietrich employed wit, sexuality and world-weary charm in innumerable films as well as upon stages worldwide for decades as a top billing cabaret artiste.

And Peter, whose poise and attention to detail has resulted in their Dietrich transformation receiving international acclaim and all star audiences loving every single second, captures the essence of this Weimar Diva perfectly! As we write this, Groom is preparing to step on stage as Marlene in Brussels [Break a Lash darling!] for a full length Dietrich homage - and then they're off to OZ!!! So we are beyond lucky to have landed in the window they find themselves in London.

Let's fill this show - because these performers are MINDBLOWING!
