Manchester’s much-loved Queer performance night Mother’s Ruin comes to Oldham Coliseum for a sensational night of outrageous cabaret mayhem.
Presented by a top bill of artists from the North West and beyond, Mother’s Ruin fuses warmth with wild hilarity to bring a variety of comedy, music, drag and the unpredictable like no other.
Your irsute hostess for the duration of the evening is Timberlina, a glamorous ecologically minded bearded drag lady bringing her unique blend of warm sincerity and shambolic hilarity.
Cheddar Gorgeous is Manchester’s hottest drag, boylesque artist. He hosts Manchester’s monthly Cha Cha Boudoir and is the namesake of the Family Gorgeous.
Cheddar presents the visually impressive Queen Elizabeth piece he has recently been touring in America.
Channeling her inner clown Debs Gatenby will be bringing bad impersonations of animal spirit guides and meditations on homo-normativity in modern life.
Debs is the current holder of the Bunny of Hope award for her services to ‘day jobs’ and loves spending time on her sofa.
Diva Hollywood, the wild woman of cabaret, bring her fierce, sexy and very funny tiger woman. Diva is the UK’s only talking female whip cracking cabaret performer.
Expect fun and games where no one is safe from her double whip cracking skills and love of dark satire.
