Theatre: High Heels Bass Squeals

  • Fri 20 Nov 2026
  • 7:30 pm
  • £17.00
BUY TICKETS share

Leave your gender at the door and your expectations in the cloakroom – High Heels & Bass Squeals is here to serve classical clarinet, contemporary choreography and unforgettable vocals in a genre-defying theatrical experience that’s as moving as it is mischievous.

Created by Manchester-based social media comedy musical sensation Robin Reeds Drag King, this contemporary drag cabaret charts a path from childhood isolation and adversity to self-discovery, resilience and unapologetic joy.

Through original music, high-camp storytelling and a few emotional gut-punches (don’t worry, they’re still covered in glitter), this show celebrates queer history, resilience and the art of becoming exactly who you are… preferably in heels.

This is cabaret with heart, heels and a whole lot of bass.

Content Warning: Mature themes, profanity and sexual references.
