About this Event
Doom & Glitter: A Tribute To Tom Waits
In this laid-back cabaret show filled with vocal impersonations, live singing, and bluesy banter, drag king Mr. Brake Down pays tribute to the wit and wonderment of the iconic Tom Waits. Gloriously odd and experimental, the show takes audiences on a musical journey through some of Waits's seminal works. Mr. Brake Down expounds on just how much a drag king from South Wales might have in common with the California-born performer. Expect to be bemused in a highly enjoyable fashion by a show that must be seen to be believed!
After bringing 6 shows over the last two years to the Fringe, Mr. Brake Down is back with the continuing success of Doom & Glitter. This bluesy drag king cabaret with a unique approach to experimental performance and vocal impersonation has evolved, reflecting a year into his transition on testosterone. As a disabled and trans drag king, writer, host, and singer, Doom & Glitter is more than a tribute act—it's a realisation of dreams and a showcase of trans artistry shining through music that inspires both professional and personal lives.
This event is a fundraiser to help cover travel, admin, and accommodation costs for the show during the run. Entry is on a pay what you can basis and there will be options to donate via cash and card during the show.
