"Obscene, garish and hysterically funny"
Edinburgh Festivals Magazine

She’s back baby!

Georgia Tasda returns with her riotous show Back In Business. It’s a tough gig getting by in today’s cut-throat economy, but help is at hand. Although who knows when Georgia last washed hers.

In this Business Masterclass, Georgia reveals the tricks of the trade she used to build her business empire. Smashing through the glass ceiling and the fourth wall, Georgia is an entrepreneurial force to be reckoned with. Expect queer capers, gender-bending, and of course, funny business!

SUMMER IN THE DITCH

Nights of live performance, drag and cabaret. And cheap drinks at the bar!

Following the success of our annual artist takeover, Summer in The Ditch returns for a third year to showcase a dynamic mix of camp, queer, and cult work in our basement space.

With experimental new work, and rough and ready sessions from artists, ventriloquists, singers and performers, anything can happen and the unexpected is always welcome.

All performances will be relaxed: audiences are allowed to move around, make noise and leave the room. Latecomers will be admitted.
