It's the oldest profesion in the book, and it's everywhere you look.
From
the seediest of dungeons to the most luscious of boudoirs, Mistress is
there to guide you with a trusty whip in hand. But there's a new
dominatrix in town, and she wants to leave a mark.
Tish is stuck
in a rut. They're finishing their second year studying musical theatre
in Bognor Regis (the Broadway of the south coast) and something is
desperately wrong. They're told to be a leading man, not to put a foot
wrong, and facing them in the mirror is a body they don't recognise.
Something in them is screaming, longing to be free. But after a chance
exchange on Grindr, Tish was given a chance to become something new, and
make some money along the way.
Provocateur is a new
work-in-progress cabaret show from London's drag fetish sensation Letitia
Delish. This is the story of her journey into sex work, and how her
experience as a dominatrix turned from a way to pay their rent, into
their earliest form of gender expression that started them off on their
path to discovering their transness.
With songs, sex and stories
aplenty, Letitia will take you by the collar and unleash the power that
comes from relinquishing control, and fuelling your inner desires. But
when the corset comes off and the cash changes hands, can Tish separate
the person from the persona? Sex sells, and selling out is just one
flogging away.
International fetish fiend Letitia Delish (Lipsync1000
finalist, Drag Idol Semi Finalist) is known for her incredible
vocals, acid wit and self-created custom latex looks, with her work as a
Latex Couturier being shown on runways, dark rooms and even Rupaul's
Drag Race. A familiar face in the queen kink scene, she likes to
bring playful, sexy stupidity to venues across the horizon! From cabaret
to club installations, she puts a middle finger (and more) to pearl
clutching respectabilty politics.
Satirical, sex positive and so
so stupid!
Previous sell out cabaret works inlcude Final
Penetration! (The Glory, The Karaoke Hole) and God Save the Kink
(King's Head Theatre).
