Stellar, unserious and rib-achingly funny, don’t miss “Dizney in Drag”.
Have you ever pictured what it would be like for all of the classic Disney princesses that you knew and loved as a child were all sex positivity icons? Even if you haven’t, this show is will reawaken all of your Disney crushes you never even knew you had.
Presented by the Hairy Godmothers, hailing from Western Australia, this team has taken their raucous parody show “Dizney in Drag” across the world, but it has finally ended up in Edinburgh for the Fringe Festival. Closing the day with a late slot, this is the perfect fringe show to end your night on.
Following a young boy, on the search for his one true love with the help of his hairy, not fairy, godmother. His godmother, expertly played, is the crux of the show, hiding a whole host of useful paraphernalia, mainly beers, up his gigantic skirt.
We are introduced to all manner of crude and salacious Disney characters, such as a horny, drug-induced Snow White, a sex toy mad Ariel and a strap-on centric Gaston. It is as mad as it sounds and never takes itself too seriously.
Audience interaction is rife and at times the focal point of the show. Be careful about sitting the front row, you might just get picked on.
The show’s through line is an attempt to course correct the toxic messages conveyed through Disney’s classic animation about intimacy and relationships. It tries to undo the lack of consent and toxic representations of traditional masculinity and femininity, but all with a feel-good attitude that will have you laughing your arse off. The whole ensemble are especially talented singers, injecting quality into the panto-style rewrites of famous Disney songs.
