Mr Blackpool is a seaside rave at the end of the world. A brand new theatrical installation from award-winning theatre maker Harry Clayton-Wright embedding the history of ‘end of the pier’ entertainment, cabaret, variety, drag and dance music. Exploring the past and future of this iconic seaside town through a contemporary performance lens, come prepared to dance, sweat and escape into this tongue-in-cheek extravaganza.
Created and performed in collaboration with Oliver Gregory, aka Miss Titty Kaka, an international showgirl sensation who started their performance career at Blackpool drag institution Funny Girls when they were 18 years old. Also featuring Aish Bell Docherty and Sam Bell Docherty on the decks and on stage. A married dancing duo from Blackpool whose work has been seen on stage and screen.
Material (developed and created in a recent research and development process at ACCA in October 2024), will be performed and tested for the first time with an audience in an exciting evening of presentation and conversation, including a post performance Q&A with the artists.
Commissioned and presented by Marlborough Productions and Attenborough Centre for the Creative Arts. Research and development commissioned by Marlborough Productions, Homotopia, Shoreditch Town Hall and Cambridge Junction with support from The Old Electric and using public funding by Arts Council England
