GOLDEN GIBBO NOMINATED SHOW 2024

Alex Reynolds unleashes drag king Scrum against the advice of everybody. We watch the rise of a true blue Aussie hero. What’s next? Only god knows, but Scrum is on the up and the skies the limit. Most likely politics, word on the street is there might be an opening as a member for Hughes. One things for sure, once a streaker, always a streaker.

Delivered with a commitment to character that is intense, shocking and laugh out loud funny. You simply can not miss Scrum!

A master of transformation, Alex Reynolds (she/her) is a proud queer, Palestinian/Australian woman based in Sydney. She is currently featured in Osher Günsberg’s satirical news show, NTNNNNN and performs regularly with Improv Theatre Sydney’s ensemble.

Featuring: Clare Cavanagh (NTNNNNN, Evicted, How to Be Queer)
