Following a successful sold-out run on the West End, Chris is overwhelmed by the support Death Drop has received. He believes the show helps make drag more accessible through the use of theatre.

Set in 1991, the camp comedy follows a group of guests as they attend Tuck Island for a ‘dinner party like no other’.

Death Drop will be at The Lowry until Saturday 16 October. You can buy ticketsvia thr Lowry box office here.
