Why hello, Sex Sex Men Men

The Pecs Drag Kings are back… ✨

 

“This is a show about desire. About that smoulder in your eyes that makes us melt, the electricity when you brush hands, press flesh, bruise skin"

 

…well, our loins are already a-burnin'.

 

"It’s about power. About exchanging tongues, breaths, moans. About sensuality. The clue is in the title.”

 

…uff. If that hasn't already sent you over the edge, read on, as "London’s radical drag king collective" Pecs Drag Kings are back with their new show, the aptly named: Sex Sex Men Men.

 

 

Simultaneously relishing in masculine sexuality while unpacking the toxic behaviours which currently reside within:

 

"The way that men and masculine people express desire has been gendered and coded in culture.

 

"This show examines that by bringing together performance art, drag, theatre, comedy and cabaret with ecstatic swagger."

 

 

Drag Kinging, aka the art of women and non-binary people performing as men, "is a middle finger up to the gender binary."

 

"A celebration of queerness; a liberating, empowering, powerful political weapon," as our good friends explain.

 

 

Ready to rock your body (and your mind), the Pecs cast currently includes; the smouldering king of lipsync Drag King Cole (Temi Wilkey); scruffy, skinny poser Scott Free (Rosie Skan); and sexy smooth mover Thrustin Limbersnake (Lauren Steele).

 

The highflying, ball-busting, womanizing city boy Mr Goldenballs (Helena Fallstrom) and the queer Glaswegian comic of your dreams, John Travulva* (Jodie Mitchell), being "quietly macho, discussing injustice, and respecting the hell out of you."​

 

*(Can we all just take a moment to appreciate the drag name "John Trevulva" please. I mean just… ðŸ‘ðŸ¼ðŸ‘ðŸ¼ðŸ‘ðŸ¼)

 

So, interested? 'Course, you are…
