Thick & Tight: Tits & Teeth

Thick & Tight are touring the UK with Tits and Teeth, the best bits of their back catalogue from their sell-out shows at London International Mime Festival 2023.

Mixing ballet and contemporary dance with drag, satire, mime and lip-syncing, Tits and Teeth is a variety show like no other.  ​​​​​​A retrospective of a dazzling career.  Presented by Queer Amusements, Blackpool Grand Theatre and Marlborough Productions.

Performed portraits of famous and infamous people will appear before you.  Catch a hilarious double-headed Barbara Cartland and an imagined meeting between modernist composer John Cage and musical theatre legend Elaine Paige.  They are joined by some all-time favourites; Rasputin, Grace Jones, Dame Margot Fonteyn and a Kathak-dancing Winston Churchill.  Don't know these amazing cultural figures?  You soon will.  See them at Blackpool Grand as part of their whirlwind tour.

​​​Co-directed by Daniel Hay-Gordon and Eleanor Perry, Thick & Tight celebrates high and low art in all its variety, splendour and stupidity.  Joining the company are a knockout cast of dancers (Vidya Patel, Oxana Panchenko, Danny Smith and Azara Meghie) drawn from the likes of Michael Clark, Talawa and BBC Young Dancer of The Year was commissioned by Marlborough Productions as part of their New Queers on the Block programme, Aunty Social and supported using public funding by Arts Council England.
