From time to time we like to check in with our favorite Anglo/Iraq genderqueer Muslim drag artist and filmmaker Glamrou is up too because no two weeks are ever the same with her.  ‘She’s’ just finished a stint playing a Pantomime Dame in Jack and The Beanstalk which really must have either delighted or freaked out,  the kids in the audience at the Oxford Playhouse.

Last week she, and the other members of the Drag Supergirl Band DENIM kicked off their WORLD TOUR Show which in their heads is playing at Wembley Stadium and not at London’s Soho Theatre as in reality. The riotous evening which combines glamour with outrageous rock and very bitchy comedy with some of the most refreshing uptake on queer politics ever has deservedly earned them several 5-star reviews.

DENIM : ONE STOP WORLD TOUR  until February 3rd    www.sohotheatre.com  

Then next week sees the premiere of Amrou Al-Khadi aka Gamrou’s latest short movie RUN(A)WAY ARAB.  Like most of his filmmaking, the story is an autobiographical piece about how he used drag to restore the childhood memory of his Muslim mother.  It is being shown at the London Short Film Festival  (screening at Curzon Soho on the 21 January as part of Highly In/Visible)

When he’s not performing or filmmaking Al-Khadi is writing: usually opinion pieces for THE INDEPENDENT newspaper in the UK; in which he articulates on whatever is happening in the world that has him passionately worked up: check out his last one HERE.

We’re tired just thinking about the life of this one very busy genderqueer Drag queen …..
