🌈 ARTIST ANNOUNCEMENT 🌈

We are so excited to announce we have an extra special performer, who we had to invite after witnessing her SICK set at Q***r as F**k at Feel Good Club

Holly Redford-Jones is a Manchester-based musician and comedian, originally from Chesterfield. During her years as a touring musician and songwriter, she discovered her flair for comedic patter while talking to audiences between and during songs. Wanting to shake things up post-lockdown and missing the thrill of live performance, Holly gravitated naturally towards stand-up comedy. She is currently developing a show called “I Was Dancing in the Le***an Bar,” combining her three greatest passions; music, comedy, and le****ns.

🌈 ARTIST ANNOUNCEMENT 🌈

The Queen of Heartbreak has more thoughts in her head than lovers in her bed. Lying awake at night and wondering whether skunks are offended that people think they smell or whether chickens feel the existential pressure of people guessing if they came first. After her set, you'll be singing Kylie Minogue's: 'I just can't get you out of my head'.

🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️ SHOW ANNOUNCEMENT 🏳️‍⚧️🏳️‍🌈

To Bee Productions is thrilled to announce its most captivating cabaret yet – "Queens of the Desert, a Q***r Cabaret." This dazzling evening of celebration, laughter, and sparkle is proudly sponsored by the LGBT Foundation and the Superbia Q***r Arts Fund. The cabaret promises a fusion of storytelling, music, drag, poetry, spoken word, and unforgettable performances by our local, vibrant, and exceptionally talented LGBTQIA+ performers.

Crafted by the multi-award-nominated and critically acclaimed To Bee Productions, "Queens of the Desert" beckons audiences to relish in an evening of charm, comedy, and remarkable performances. Hosted in the stunning Edwardian Engine Hall at the People's History Museum, guests can enjoy a drink while the space is filled with the harmonious blend of music and laughter.

Not only an evening of entertainment, but "Queens of the Desert" also serves a greater purpose. We are proud to announce that we will be fundraising for the Trans Mutual Aid Fund. This noble organisation tirelessly redistributes resources and provides crucial support to trans and nonbinary individuals in Greater Manchester.

Join us for a night that transcends the ordinary, as we celebrate diversity, talent, and community. "Queens of the Desert" promises an unforgettable experience that not only entertains but also supports a cause close to our hearts.

Audience Comments:
