Naz Şimşek is a performance artist, cabaret producer and drag king whose work draws from growing up queer in London to Turkish immigrant parents working in the food industry. Their research interests include hospitality as performance, London’s migrant food scene and spaces of nurture. Their drag king alter-ego, Laz Lighting is all about finding joy in navigating new places and playing with ‘British-ness’ through unabashed optimism, migrant savviness and Turkish hospitality. Laz's dream is to one day treat Princess Diana to a homemade Turkish Breakfast.
