Winner of RuPaul’s Drag Race U.K. Season 4, Danny Beard has a brand-new tour for 2024!
‘Straight Expectations’ will see Danny and their full live band perform a night of killer vocals, snappy comedy, put downs and pick me ups. Join the host of BBC3’s ‘The After Shave’ for an evening of scandalous behaviour, lots of laughs, and an honest insight into what life's really like as a Z-list 'celeb' Danny takes to the road for their biggest tour to date - kicking off the two-week tour on 4th September at Newbury Corn Exchange and culminating at London’s Peacock Theatre on 22nd September.
The show will take you on a musical and comedy journey through the eye of a 6-foot, scouse drag queen. Expect anecdotes about life growing up gay in 90’s and 00’s Liverpool, and what was expected of you and becoming Britain’s next drag superstar. There’ll be hot celebrity gossip, and of course a soundtrack to the perfect night out. Danny will be asking, and trying to answer, all the right and wrong questions. What makes a drag queen? Who’s drag really for? Is it really fair to pick on straight people? After all, it’s not their fault.
In addition to a sell-out debut UK tour and critically acclaimed Edinburgh Fringe residency, the last 12 months have also seen Danny take to the stage alongside Graham Norton at London’s O2 Arena, plus multiple TV appearances including The Weakest Link, The Traitors Uncloaked and Hollyoaks.
“A brilliant mix of camp, modern drag and old school cabaret… With their iconic make up, signature silhouette and flamboyant flare It is clear that Danny is a national treasure, they love performing and we love watching them.! One of the best shows at Fringe.” ★★★★★ EDINBURGH FESTIVAL MAGAZINE
