Feeling the Valentine’s Day blues? Need an alternative to the commercialisation of romance? Let London favourites The Bareback Kings bring more lurve into your life with their drag king swagger, tackling the issues of the hour in this improvised comedy show. The boyz are rude, crude but never disrespecting the ladies. Even when they’re whipping their kecks off.
The Bareback Kings are a not-so-regular group of women having a go at being regular dudes. Four women, dressed as lads, take the piss out of anything related to being alive in the 21st century—gender, politics, Deliveroo, to name a few. Each show the lads will ask for your suggestions, and your digits, to create a one-off memorable experience.
The Bareback Kings – otherwise known as Brent, Dirk, Gary and Seb – have been riding together since 2017. Proud members of the improv, drag and LGBTQIA communities, their raucous-comedy-shows also provoke discussion about gender and identity. They have performed across London, the UK, and New York with their unique brand of improvised drag-king comedy. If you like your comedy anarchic, real, and with a sock down its pants, you’ll like The Bareback Kings.
