London drag King Bi-Curious George presents Queer Planet: a raucous drag celebration of queerness and the animal kingdom.
Bi-Curious George is a rising star of the London drag scene and the 2022 winner of the prestigious Not Another Drag Competition at the Royal Vauxhall Tavern. Their work centres around queer ecology; queerness in the natural world.
Queer Planet is a raucous romp through the animal kingdom which aims to shatter the heteronormative binaries through which we view the natural world. It is both a parody of and a homage to Britains beloved nature documentaries. Combining drag, stand up comedy, parody songs and all manner of ridiculous behaviour,
Queer Planet was developed through work in progress performances in independent queer venues. The entire piece is an ongoing conversation and collaboration with, as well as a small window into, the wonderful queer community which Bi-curious George has come from.

Tobi King Bakare and this theatre deserve a shout-out for such a young, diverse audience. There is so much talk about audiences being full of over 60s and why, why can’t theatres get the crowds in to reflect society in general? Well, I’m happy to say that on a rainy Thursday evening, the theatre was completely full.
