Pride @ The Dog

Featuring That Joe Payne, Lilly SnatchDragon, John Celestus and Stevie Turner

If you’re after an evening of thrilling entertainment, then don’t miss Pride @ The Dog, presented by Wonky Bear Productions. This event is set to be a celebration of diverse talent, showcasing performers who are known for taking risks and pushing boundaries.

The lineup includes some of the most innovative and exciting artists working in the UK today. First up is That Joe Payne, a classically trained vocalist with an impressive 5-octave range. With a background in pop, prog, and rock music, Joe is a dynamic performer who is sure to dazzle audiences with his flamboyant showmanship.

Also on the bill is John Celestus, Cabaret’s Darkest Darling. John started as the first Boylesque performer in Greece and quickly became an international headliner. With a passion for entertainment and a strong aesthetic, John is a multi-skilled performer who is ready to captivate even the most demanding audience.

Lilly SnatchDragon is an award-winning political comedy drag queen, burlesque artist, and compere. Her approach to how the West stereotypes S.E Asian women has won her critical acclaim, including “Best Newcomer” at the London Cabaret Awards in 2015. She is consistently ranked in the Top 10 “UK’s Most Influential Burlesque Performers” and is currently No. 37 in the world and No. 4 in the UK.

Finally, Stevie Turner is a rising star in the spoken word scene. Their work is political, passionate, and often pushes boundaries, immersing audiences in a late-night city world of elegant chaos, random conversations, and unplanned next moves. As part of Bent Key Publishing’s Queer Poets Collective, Stevie also hosts Absinthe Nights, a regular spoken word night at Northern Monk, and a weekly radio show on North Manchester FM.

This event promises to be a night to remember, featuring a range of talent that is as diverse as it is exciting. With tickets priced at just £12 in advance, this is an opportunity not to be missed. Book your tickets now on Fatsoma and join us for Pride @ The Dog, presented by Wonky Bear Productions.
