Prepare yourselves Didcot, because we’re back! It’s the queerest time of year, so we’re bringing another explosion of, queer, neo and boundary-pushing cabaret to Cornerstone Arts Centre. With different acts every time, from the fierce and feisty to the silly and surreal, the iconic OxPHWOARd has been a staple of the Oxfordshire scene for over 10 years.
Featuring some of the best in the UK burlesque and drag scene, prepare for a glittering array of lip syncing, striptease, and comedy, with a dash of circus to boot as we celebrate Pride the best possible way. OxPHWOARd’s resident weirdos - comedy drag queen Ginger Tart and boylesque tease Frisky Whispers - are joined by some stellar performers
