Part of Greater Manchester Fringe Festival 2022.
Join queer cabaret icon Aidan Sadler as they take you on the award winning journey to Tropicana!
Nothing is safe from ridicule so be led on an exploration of body image, heteronormativity and sometimes wearing a dress round the house on a muggy day. Here, you’ll experience belting eighties synth-pop nostalgia punctuated with world class stand-up comedy.
Featuring electrifying eighties hits from Spandau Ballet to ABC, Tropicana returns to the fringe festival from its sell out, extended run in 2021 to explore, bend and abuse the gender binary.
