    After their first sell-out solo show SWARM at CPT last year, Liv Ello is back with this work-in-progress of their new solo show interrogating the relationship between class and gender in Britain through anti-drag persona, Jack The Mack.

     

    He’s a lover and a fighter
    He’s a cheeky little blighter
    He’s a mod and he’s a punk
    He’s a commy and a drunk
    Some say he’s posh and he’s a queer
    Or are those just the things he fears?
    So grab a pint and ponce a smoke
    And see if Jack’s really a bloke

    Through the nostalgic lens of Britpop, classic sitcoms and potato smileys, Liv Ello combines a raucous blend of music, comedy and monologues to subvert and disrupt class-based portrayals of masculinity.

    OH GENDER, UP YOURS!

    "“when d’ya think you’ll get a real job?”"
    Betsy, Liv’s nan
    "“mind blowingly brilliant” "
    Sue Odell, casting director

    "The seed commission has made me feel supported, not just as an artist but also a woman of colour whose story needs to be heard."
