‘Unsightly Drag and Friends’ is a somewhat different cabaret evening with disabled and neurodivergent performers who are at home across the LGBTQQIA+ spectrum, also known as Queer Crips, or Quips for short. The drag kings, queens and things from Quiplash perform their way into the hearts of the audience with singing, dancing, lip sync and loads of glitter.
