LGBTQ+ History Month is fast approaching, and this February sees Queer Contact return to Manchester’s Contact theatre for the first time in the newly transformed venue.
Having recently undergone a £6.75million transformation of its iconic building on Oxford Road – if you’ve never visited, it’s pretty eye-catching – Contact has expanded to create enhanced performance and event space to support queer communities from across the region.
Tickets have just gone on sale for the 9-day celebration, which will take over all corners of the venue. The festival will present a varied lineup including The Enby Show, hosted by Carrot and starring Divina De Campo, as well as a performance from drag king collective King of Pecs.
The Bitten Peach – the UK’s only Pan-Asian cabaret collective, who we caught on the West End last summer – will bring together performers from a range of genres including drag, burlesque, dance, comedy, music and more.
