Duchess talks to the Metro
The Duchess, aka. Ewan James Armstrong — one of our brilliant cast members in Jock Tamson's Bairns — is in Metro.co.uk today, talking about the human under the wig, homophobia and what drag is all about. Everybody say looooove! (But wandering fingers beware...)
Let’s kick LGBT bullying in the balls
Faggot, Fruit, Nancy, Pansy, Mary, Fairy, Flamer and Butt Pirate. An obvious target — camp, girly, never quite on point — the taunting started early; well before I was old enough to have had my first inexplicably thrilling yet profoundly confusing day dream about Magnum P.I. and his hairy chest.
Bugle Boys call for food bank donations
This December, Civil Disobedience and Assembly Roxy are offering £5 tickets to festive new show Bugle Boys: Christmas Crackers, for anyone that shows up to a performance with a donation to one of Edinburgh’s food banks. We’ll be working with The Trussell Trust to ensure effective distribution to families in crisis...all you need to do is rock up with your food donation.
Buglemania hits the Edinburgh Fringe!
We're past the halfway point of the Edinburgh Fringe already, and to say that our amazing Bugle Boys are NAILING IT would be an understatement! The past two weeks have been crazy busy, with our queens taking the BBC by storm, hitting Radio Forth’s drivetime show, playing Best of the Fest (twice!), guesting at the New Town Cabaret and Brewhemia, plus performing at the Virgin Money Lounge for Fringe donors and at The Greatest Showman Sing-along.

Wir lieben dich, Hans!
What do you get if you take an exceptionally tall Australian bloke, put him in a pair of sequin-spangled hot pants, cake him in makeup, and hand him an accordion? You could be forgiven for guessing a male rugby player on his stag night - but the answer we're looking for is ultra-sassy, faux-German, Fringe pop sensation Hans.
