America's most potty-mouthed and politically outspoken drag a cappella quartet escaped the morality police in the US... only to inflict their outrageous parodies on the UK! What can possibly go right? No Disney tune, nursery rhyme, or beloved pop song is safe from their outrageous parodies in delicious four-part harmony. With scathing satire and cheeky classics from 30 years of appalling their audiences, this new musical from America's favourite Dragapella Beautyshop Quartet has been rated PG for Patently Ghastly. 'Wonderfully smart... Hilarious... Artfully crude... Lovably ribald' (Times).

Here Come The Yanks

In August 2023 there will be so many American comedians in Edinburgh, Scotland's capital could qualify as the unofficial 51st state of the United States.

The Kinsey Sicks interview

"It's been six years since The Kinsey Sicks have descended upon Edinburgh - and a rather uneventful six years at that, no?!"

Want to ban drag performers? Start with Trump!

Drag queen story times continue to provoke controversy. Just these week, right-wing Republicans in Ohio moved to define any drag artist as 'adult cabaret', akin to a stripper, making it a criminal act to perform in front of under 18. It's being seen as an attack on LGBT people's rights to free expression, as well as fuelling transphobia. Meanwhile, in the UK, MailOnline has been saying parents were 'horrified' by a cabaret performance by a drag star at Southend's Adventure Island. Here Benjamin Schatz - aka Rachel of Edinburgh-bound drag group The Kinsey Sicks - offers his opinion.
