The candid and comical tale of a mad tranny from Burnley in the north of England; how a little boy who secretly wore their sister's dresses, moved to Berlin, became a Drag King, grew a pair of tits and discovered gender euphoria. The shapeshifter of Berlin, Nancy’s multiple drag personalities make-up a pantheon of alternative egos. For years, Nancy has performed within Berlin's drag, cabaret, theatre and club spaces. Nancy has performed ‘On Drag’ at go drag! International Drag Festival and at The Edinburgh Fringe Festival.

“The show’s concept began as a lecture on the history of drag, but quickly morphed into an autobiographical story that zips through stereotypes, history and gender conformity with an intelligence much needed in today’s toxic binary ‘wars’... Nancy makes a compelling and entertaining case with a fine theatre line, that pushes the boundaries of a more traditional ‘scope of being’ with music, drama, comedy and pathos added to fine effect.”
