OxPHWOARd Sprung!
By Tart Productions CIC, Frisky Presents
Spring has Sprung! The days are getting brighter, and we’re getting camper with some of the best in the subversive UK burlesque and drag scene. In a glittering array of lip syncing, striptease and comedy, OxPHWOARd is an explosion of queer, neo and boundary-pushing cabaret: from the fierce and feisty to the silly and surreal.
With a kitschy approach and a killer soundtrack, this charming show promises to gleefully annihilate preconceptions about gender, race, sexuality, and what it means to be sexy with a wry smile and a face full of glitter.
Featuring a diverse host of drag darlings and burlesque babes, and the odd party game too, we’re asking you to think strong, think silly, and think sexy.
Starring:
Coco Deville
For Coco Deville, the spotlight is her playground. With a unique and eclectic repertoire, awards and critical acclaim, Coco is one of the most exciting performers in the world of burlesque and cabaret. Her unique style and effervescent animated persona has also gained recognition beyond the stage. Trademarked with her innovative twist on the burlesque genre, fusing body positivity, conceptual costuming and dynamic dancing , Ms Deville graces her stages with an unfalteringly joy filled presence
Cairo Iman Ali
Cairo Iman Ali is an Egyptian-Sudanese drag queen serving a fierce blend of comedy and glamour. As the producer behind the Oxford Drag Collective, you can find her all over the Oxford Scene!
Victoria Rose
Victoria Rose has been performing since 2017, blending classic burlesque with the daring edge of modern strip club style. Inspired by vintage fetish models and burlesque legends, she has thrilled audiences across the UK, New York City, and Europe with her performances, bringing Raw Stripper Entertainment Back to Burlesque.
Frisky Whispers
Glamorous, sultry, and a little bit tacky! This dazzling showboy and queer cabaret performer has a flair for flamboyant burlesque and isn’t afraid to show it. Combining classic tease with a contemporary feel, Frisky Whispers will have you salivating at every glove peel and fan twirl!
And hosted by Ginger Tart
Serving their own brand of camp ridiculousness, it’s always a party with Ginger Tart. They’ve been making a splash on the UK scene since 2015. Whether they’re being regurgitated by a shark or stripping as a cruciferous vegetable, they ooze kitsch and comic value out of their every pore with sensational kooky costumes and a face that’s more dexterous than a Russian gymnast
OxPHWOARd is a show celebrating the camp, queer, and eclectic. Serving fierce, funny and frisky acts, this is an electric evening showcasing burlesque and drag as you’ve never seen it before. Phwoar!
