A community sensation for 3 years running, T4T is back for another Fringe!

Featuring some of the most exciting, most daring and most creative performers in the country. But here's the twist – every single performer is trans, and the audience is too. That's right – if you're not trans, you're not invited.

Expect to see everything including comedy, burlesque, music and drag in a way you've never seen it before. It's a show with no apologies given, no explanations needed, no dress code required. A space where being trans is the norm. A sanctuary for the nonconforming. For trans folk, for non-binary folk, for everyone who has fled the confines of gender altogether.

(Cis people are allowed, but not encouraged).

One show only! Sell out expected!
