Are there any age restrictions to see Queenz?

Queenz is a fantastic night out for all ages, however as a recommendation, we would advise 14+ for ultimate enjoyment. The show does feature some adult humour and mild language so it is completely down to parental discretion. We welcome anyone with an open mind!

Act 1: 55mins

Act 2: 55mins

If you are attending our "Party Edition" show the running time is 80mins with no interval.

What is the "Party Edition"?

You're coming to our party edition?! You can expect an all-singing, all-dancing 80 mins of live vocals and chat with the Queenz as they guide you through an eclectic party playlist, featuring remixed and reimagined pop anthems from The Spice Girls, Shakira, GaGa, Britney, Whitney and everything in between.

Please not that due to time constraints there will be no meet and greet after the afternoon party editions shows.

What is the dress code?

There's no strict dress code, but us gals think it's the perfect time to grab your glittery glad rags, blind us with your bling and show off your gorgeous glow up as you sashay that rainbow runway for a shimmering night of sequins, sass and singalongs!

Dior Montay - The Classy(ish) One

Mark McCredie

Training: Mark trained at Mountview Academy of Theatre Arts

Mark is thrilled to be joining the cast of QUEENZ as the role of Dior Monte.

Mark trained at Mountview Academy of Theatre Arts and since graduating has worked in various areas of the industry performing across theatres and festivals, on screen, on world cruises and in concerts at prestigious venues like the Royal Albert Hall. Although this isn’t Mark’s first time dipping into Drag, he is excited to delve deeper into the Queendom and become one of the gals.

Mark can’t wait to tour the country belting out diva anthems whilst dripping in diamonds.

If you think his CV’s meaty, you should see his… shepherd’s pie recipe.

Candy Caned - The Sweet One

Josh Hanson

Training: School of Hard K(n)ocks

Josh is originally from Newham, London but has spent most of his life on the south coast in sunny Brighton, city of pebbly beaches and too many sex shops.

Josh’s journey with ‘Queenz’ began after he was working as a carer during the pandemic. After seeing the ‘Queenz’ auditions, they decided life was too short not to take some risks and popped on their first ever pair of heels, some cheap lippy, got on the train to London and booked the gig over hundreds of hopefuls.

Flash forward a few weeks and Josh was living the drag dream, teamed up with West End professionals and choreographers that have worked with the likes of Little Mix and the Spice Girls, creating the very sweet and ever so slightly slutty ‘Candy Caned.

Josh can’t wait to share sassiness, silliness and pop songs with the entire United Kingdom. Little 10 year old Josh used to bop to girl bands of the 90’s; now he gets to be part of one…and this really is only the beginning!

Bille Eyelash - The Rock Chick

Craig Colley

Training: Blackpool school of Arts

After graduating in 2012 Craig swapped the small seaside town for life on the seven seas, performing as a singer/dancer on cruise ships around the world.

Surrounded backstage by cheap wigs, fake jewellery & padded bras, Craig felt right at home and before he knew it, was one of the gals!

Now it was time to put these new skills to the test and after a couple of years at sea the bright lights of Blackpool came calling once again, as Craig returned to feature in one of the world's most famous drag shows, Funny Girls, as his then drag alter ego, Scarlett

Outside of drag Craig has been working as a makeup artist, painting faces with just a little less glitter than he’s used to. Craig joined Queenz as our first ever super swing and is the only person to have performed as three different queens. He is thrilled to now be playing Billie Eylash around the UK.

ZeZe Van Cartier - The Gender Bender

Lew Ray

Training: Urdang

Being quarter-Jamaican and non-binary in the West Midlands, Lew has always marched to the beat of their own (sequinned) drum. From a young age, Lew loved dressing up in Disney princess costumes at their best friend’s house (Pro tip: always get a gal pal who’s the same dress size as you!).

A baby queen no longer, Lew has now graduated from plastic Claire’s Accessories’ tiaras to bespoke rhinestone headpieces and can’t wait to be coming back to the West Midlands with their sisters in tow.

Lew is a gal with a goal, ready to serve up their eclectic blend of non-binary finery to the theares of the UK, Queenz…and the world! (Cue evil laughter).
