TuckShop, the UK’s only specialist production company dedicated to all things drag, is bringing a summer festival to London’s Garrick Theatre, starring Baga Chipz, Cheryl Hole, Ginny Lemon, Joe Black and more!
TuckShop, the team behind the 2019 drag panto Cinderella (the UK’s first ever all drag pantomime in the West End) and more recently the wonderfully raucous drag spectacular Death Drop, will present TuckShop West End, a summer festival of drag shows and performances from 27 July – 8 August, at the Garrick Theatre. This marks the first time a West End theatre has hosted such a celebration of the best of British drag.
Producer Chris Clegg said, “After an incredible smash hit summer with Death Drop, I’m beyond delighted that Nica Burns and the incredible Nimax team have asked TuckShop back to the Garrick for the West End’s first ever drag season. This festival is showcasing all kinds of drag in the biggest and best ways! I hope audiences come and experience the broad scope of what the UK drag scene has to offer in a way like never before. And be sure to book four shows – you’ll get a tucking good discount!”
Tickets for individual shows start from £17.50, while audience members who purchase four shows can take advantage of a 25% discount off the total price. More information on the shows can be found on the Nimax website.
