    Miss Ellaneous is not quite drag, not quite comedy, not quite theatre or spoken word etc

    But you should most probably expect:
    anti-capitalist tap dancing,
    background noise (with assorted plastic accessories),
    emotional polystyrene moments™,
    party bags - order yours in advance for the interval,
    Christmas on tap
    a comprehensive economic plan for the year ahead - order yours in advance for the interval,
    Morticia Addams on the Spoons,
    various crustaceans on the Theremin,
    Political Borders (detachable),
    alcohol (optional),
    wigs (probable),
    hay fever (possible but ideally avoidable),
    a very very vague plotline,
    inevitable political commentary.

    Ultimately, Miss Ellaneous aims to create a space for performers and artists struggling to define ‘what it is that they do’ and arguing that the pressure to fit into a genre or box to explain and market their work is limiting, alienating and ultimately, a bit boring.

    "Artfully clownish and funny"
    The Guardian (for Frankie Thompson)
    "Hysterically funny, deeply strange"
    Time Out (For Frankie Thompson)
