    Medusa Has Been - Draglesque

    Medusa Has Been is the newest oldest showgirl in town, happily putting the OLD in Golden Girl, and the OW in showgirl! Starting their career in Burlesque /Draglesque/Oldboylesque at 60, Medusa is intent on ageing disgracefully and challenging perceptions of ageing and disgrace. Apart from entertaining audiences, delighting punters and occasionally putting a little dent in the glass ceiling, Medusa’s desire is to be part of the intergenerational conversation that a healthy queer community needs. Also, she has fabulous legs.

    Kiran Saggu - Comedian

    Kiran is an American/British comedian who identifies as a savage in the Megan Thee Stallion way and not the Winston Churchill way. Often known by literally no one as the ‘desi Maya Jama’, her comedy is observational, surreal, and super slay!

    Jimmy Harvey - Music

    Jimmy Harvey is a queer artist born and raised in Lincoln. Jimmy’s music, is a blend of pop and indie- pop incorporating storytelling, relatable lyrics, soulful vocals, and catchy hooks. Jimmy has been working on his first EP “Boy In My Mind” due for release this year, its first two singles receiving plays on BBC Introducing.

    Valentín - Drag king

    Valentín is a soft Latinx boi and the suavest of kings. The first runner up in this year's Man Up, the largest drag king competition in Europe, Valentín is also part of the Reyes del Barrio Collective, the first Latinx London based drag king collective.

    This powerhouse of a performer is sure to bring the house down, and teach you some Spanish along the way.

    Miranda Horn (Thirsty Poems) - Poetry

    Backdropped by a world of Hinge and self-checkouts, Thirsty Poems is poetry as social commentary.
    Miranda is a neurodiverse lesbian writer whose work explores desire and identity through a queer lens. Her poetry (Thirsty Poems), has been published in journals internationally and her debut queer novel The Second Adolescence was recently longlisted for the 2023 Comedy Women in Print Unpublished Manuscript Prize.
    Miranda has recently been selected for The Literary Consultancy LGBTQ+ Free Reads Scheme and awarded the H.W Fisher Scholarship with Curtis Brown Creative.

    Programmed by Coco Jackson: "The shows I’ve programmed throughout the New Adventures Festival each represent different aspects of my own identity. Whether that be queerness in a broad sense, exploring queerness through a POC lens or exploring trans identities."
