COMEDY
****

It’s becoming a fringe tradition to have the drags aloud girls here to celebrate the season with us, and boy do they do it in style.

The theme for this years show at the underbelly is that of Showgurls! those wonderful women who are just a cut above the rest. We get a plethora of musical numbers from the three ladies intercut with a solo section each. These sections allow the gurls to explain how they came to be in the profession of drag theatre and what it means to them. Two out of three choose to do so in a highly comedic fashion. It’s the third of the drags aloud girls who opens her heart and lets us know it was by doing drag that she came to recognise her Transgenderism and realise it wasn’t a bad thing to want to be who you truly are inside. It was a moment of deep pathos in an otherwise camp comedy hour and really sets the drags aloud team apart from the rest. They also get through a succession of wonderful and colourful costumes. To make up for the quick change periods in the show they use some pre filmed segments on the big screen to join the show together to great effect.

If you’re looking for a fun filled late night comedy production then the Legendary Drags aloud are a must just remember to wear your sparkles when you see them!!
