Danny Beard and Their Live Band

About

The winner of RuPaul's Drag Race U.K. Season 4, Danny Beard has a brand-new tour for 2024! The show, '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 - the show will be heading to Poole's Lighthouse on 7th September.

'Straight Expectations' 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.

"I'm so excited about my new touring show, 'Straight Expectations'! It's going to be a fabulous extravaganza of glitter, glamour and gags. It's been one hell of a ride since winning RuPaul's Drag Race UK, reaching the heady heights of "Celebrity" - whoever said TV was glamorous clearly had never had to do their own make up in a portaloo! One of the many highlights of the whole thing was touring the country with my phenomenal band, who obviously knew that leaving the tours of some of the biggest pop stars and most successful musicals was the right thing to do, in favour of supporting a Drag Queen belting out Adele tracks. The audiences were electric last year and I can't wait to see all my fans and make some new ones along the way with this new show." DANNY BEARD
