The Vaudevillians

Throughout the 1920s, Kitty Witless and Dr. Dan Von Dandy toured the United States as The Vaudevillians, wowing audiences with their edgy, original music. One day, while touring through Antarctica, they were victims of a devastating avalanche and were buried under two tons of sleet and snow - instantly freezing them alive.

Thanks to Global Warming, they recently thawed out only to discover that pop artists had stolen their music and passed it off as their own. Now, at long last, they are taking to the stage to reclaim their songs, performing their music as originally composed in a vintage cabaret with a twist of drag.

Favourite of worldwide hit TV phenomenon, RuPaul’s Drag Race, Jinkx Monsoon is the sassy alter ego of Portland born entertainer, Jerick Hoffer.

Having toured worldwide, Jinkx has performed two sell out, extended runs at London’s Soho Theatre with off Broadway US spectacle The Vaudevillians, co-starring Major Scales and returning last Christmas with follow up seasonal sell-out Unwrapped! Earlier in 2017 she performed as part of The Drag Ball at London’s Eventium Apollo Theatre and co-starred with Peaches Christ in the much-buzzed-about Return to Grey Gardens in NYC and London.

The Vaudevillans will be performing at Stafford Gatehouse Theatre on Sunday, November 5 at 7.30pm. Tickets are priced at £17, with an unwaged concession price of £12.50, and are available from the Box Office on 01785 619080 or online via www.staffordgatehousetheatre.co.uk
