    What if you looked back on your life like you were the villain rather than the hero? 

    Doug is diving into his villain era to answer that question and he’d love to take you along for the ride. Sashaying across the divide between hard and soft themes, he’s needling the nasty bits of life to make friends with them. Unpicking the lifelong harm of Section 28, he’ll ask juicy questions, like, is niceness what we need to wear to survive a straight world? What’s more villainous, anger, shame, or empathy? Are we all terrible nasty people? If so, can we laugh about it?

    It’s time for the dawn of a new gay. If it’s No More Mr. Nice Gay, then who? Come and find out. 

    Expect LGBTQ+ themes, humour, depth, and a naughty little pause for thought.

    ""It's a bit of stand up, story, music, and some strikingly beautiful images.""

    "“Although the songs are funny, there’s a sadness just under the surface which lingers the same way.”"
    The Press, York
    "“Echoes of Joe Orton... an excellent, thought-provoking piece of theatre”"

    "CPT is a force for good... We as a community need this desperately at this time."
