Wearing a purple and red wig, and red and black ruffles, drag performer Leather Lungs stares into the distance, with a look of shock

  • Created by: Leather Lungs

  • Produced by: Ben Anderson

With the flamboyance of Prince, the force of Aretha, and a vocal range as mind-blowing as Freddie’s, this daring deviant thrashes through THINK and breezes through BOHEMIAN RHAPSODY, leaving you singin’ in the PURPLE RAIN.

A master of falsetto and stiletto, this vocal sensation marries savage wit, outrageous innuendo and what Express Magazine called “a voice to die for” to drag you screaming with laughter into a world of pleasure, amusement and sensation!

Leather Lungs tangos with adversity, fistfights with anxiety, and scissors with sexuality, amongst an explosion of powerhouse party anthems by all the greats!
