Australia’s award-winning cult-cabaret mischief-makers, circus stars, and heart-stopping hooligans BRIEFS FACTORY …….. part circus, part comedy, part drag, and part burlesque ….. and very queer and very outrageous ….. join forces with much-celebrated songbird Sahara Beck. for a brand new extravagant show.
They are in Europe right now with their brand new show BITES CLUB which was a sensational hit at Glastonbury Festival. Now they are about to open at London’s Southbank Centre before playing the whole of August at the prestigious Edinburgh Festival We caught up with co-creator Fez Faanana via Zoom to find out what the excitement is all about.
Usually, when one of the Queerguru team ‘falls in love” working on the Blog, it’s with some impossibly good-looking man/up-and-coming actor/lifeguard/model etc ….. you get the drift. However this time our (happily married) Editor In Chief has fallen for a hilariously quick-witted woman with the most wicked sense of humor. This Brit woman hailing from a working class (and dare we say ‘uninspiring’) town has taken the world by storm. We caught up with her in Australia where she is undertaking another Sold Out Tour that will end in Sydney for World Pride
MYRA DUBOIS is an actress, author, wellness guru, energy worker, and ‘enthusiastic singer’ whose acerbic wit has carved her a unique place as an unlikely queer icon. Miss Dubois is ‘old-school’ from England’s North who started on the Burlesque circuit working her way up and has trod the boards of such prestigious stages as the London Palladium, the London Hippodrome, the Royal Festival Hall, and the Soho Theatre to name but four. Her wicked sense of humor is delivered unfiltered at rapid speed: and she simply takes no prisoners and this has given her a loyal worldwide fan base.
QUEERGURU finally caught up with the charismatic Myra Down Under …. and we should warn that you will find her charm too infectious not to be swept up under her spell.
Peaches is particularly known for their love of horror …the camper the better…having once even directed a star-studded indie slasher movie All About Evil.
We caught up with Peaches on the eve of them taking one of their most famous roles of Mommie Queerest on a mini UK Tour with Heklina. Underneath this wickedly funny parody the show also shows Peaches’s real respect for the cult status of the original movie Charismatic with a real passion for their craft, Peaches is, as always, a sheer joy to talk with
