Pretentious Dross<\/h1>\n\n\n\n

Age:<\/strong> 32<\/h1>\n\n\n\n

Location<\/strong>: Liverpool, United Kingdom<\/h1>\n\n\n\n

About:<\/strong><\/h1>\n\n\n\n

“Well, hello there! My name is Pretentious Dross <\/em>(or just Dross for short). If you\u2019re my mate, you can call me P. Diddy. I\u2019m Liverpool\u2019s self-proclaimed Art-House Witch <\/em>– pretentious by name and by nature! <\/p>

I call what I do ‘meta-drag’- because it kinda references itself, and weaponizes the aesthetics of drag in a snake- eating-its-own-tail kinda way. YUM YUM! Dross is always gorgeous, slightly alienating, and the audience is always in on the joke with her\u2026nudge nudge\u2026wink wink.<\/p>

After finishing my Ph.D. in memes and performance in 2017, I started co-producing EAT ME<\/a>– a radical, inclusive and queer AF club night for LGBTIA+ folks based in Liverpool. Before the apocalypse, I performed in clubs, galleries and theatres across the U.K., spreading my slightly surrealist but always magical brand of drag, like the bast*rd seed of Baudrillard. I\u2019m currently working on a one-queen touring show that talks openly and honestly about drag, mental health and my journey of self-acceptance as a queer person.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n
