In partnership with Oldham Pride, Oldham Coliseum Theatre once again presents an evening of cabaret by Queer artists from across Oldham and the North West.
Queer Cabaret will light up the Coliseum stage on Friday, July 22 hosted by Oldham drag queen Terri Fox.
The cabaret is part of three days of events in Oldham to celebrate the LGBT+ community.
This year, acts include Oldham’s own Samm Hewitt, writer and performer Maz Hedgehog, Mancunian drag artists The Vegan Queens, British South Asian drag sensation Lady Bushra and multi-disciplinary artist Joshua Hubbard.
Samm Hewitt
Samm Hewitt is an award-winning singer-songwriter who made it to the top 20 of the BBC music competition Let it Shine.
Samm released his debut single, Stand Tall, in 2014 and has performed at Oldham’s Christmas lights switch-on and at multiple Pride events throughout the year.
Maz Hedgehog
Maz Hedgehog is a writer and performer working somewhere between poetry and theatre.
A founding member of Ink and Curtain, their work is lyrical and imaginative, frequently inspired by folklore and mythology.
The Vegan Queens
The Vegan Queens are a Mancunian drag family consisting of Gemini and her daughter Miasma.
Together they are the live-singing, pun-slinging tofu-chomping temptresses of the North West.
Lady Bushra
Lady Bushra is the brainchild of British Asian comedian Amir.
A clever mix of South Asian sensibilities blended with British humour made the Bradford bad girl a breakout sensation during lockdown.
Known for her digital content and one-liners, Lady Bushra was shortlisted for the BBC New Comedy Awards in 2021.
Joshua Hubbard
Joshua Hubbard is an artist whose portfolio covers choreography, dance, acting, directing and work as a lecturer.
Terri Fox
Host Terri Fox is a renowned female impersonator, who has played sell-out shows in London and New York and owned bars in Marbella before becoming the spectacular landlady of Oldham’s George Tavern.
Within her shows Terri impersonates famous faces including Dusty Springfield, Diana Ross, Shirley Bassey, Cher, Joan Collins, and Dolly Parton.
Queer Cabaret 2022 will appear at Oldham Coliseum Theatre on Friday, July 22 at 7.30pm.
Tickets cost £10 for adults, or £7 for 16-25 year-olds/NUS members.
