Pecs Drag Kings enter the final week of their extended run at The Yard  Image

Run extended due to popular demand!

Final week - 9pm Monday 11th March - Thursday 14th.

8pm Friday 15th - Saturday 16th

The Yard, Hackney Wick

Only ONE WEEK LEFT to catch London's radical drag king collective Pecs Drag Kings, lovingly and lustily pushing your boundaries with brand new show, SEX SEX MEN MEN.

Being radical doesn't mean one can't be funny, silly, sincere, joyous and ridiculous. SEX SEX MEN MEN relishes masculine sexuality at the same time as unpacking the toxic behaviours that currently exist within it. The way that men and masculine people express desire has been gendered and coded in culture, and this show examines that by bringing together performance art, drag, theatre, comedy and cabaret with ecstatic swagger.

Drag Kinging - 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.

"This is a show about desire. About that smoulder in your eyes that makes us melt. A show about the electricity when you brush hands, press flesh, bruise skin. It's about power. About exchanging tongues, breaths, moans. About sensuality. The clue is in the title."

"A plethora of pleasurable acts, presented with nuance, gender-theory and heart" - Exeunt

"With consent at its heart and a strap-on at its hips, drag collective Pecs' show is funny, smart and downright sexy." ???? - The Guardian

"really quite a sweetly optimistic show" - Time Out

"frankly unmissable night" ????? - Spy In The Stalls for The 80s Show

Where Murray Hill and Diane Torr started, Pecs Drag Kings continue. Ready to rock your body (and your mind), the cast currently includes; the smouldering king of lipsync Drag King Cole (Temi Wilkey); scruffy, skinny poser Scott Free (Rosie Potts); sexy smooth mover Thrustin Limbersnake (Lauren Steele); the highflying, ball-busting, womanizing city boy Mr Goldenballs (Helena Fallstrom), dancer stolen from the depth of your sexiest gay bar, Victor Victorious (Victoria Aubrey) and the queer Glaswegian comic of your dreams, John Travulva (Jodie Mitchell), being quietly macho, discussing injustice, and respecting the hell out of you.
