Tits & Teeth

TITS & TEETH: A retrospective of a dazzling career.

Thick & Tight are touring the UK with Tits & Teeth, the best bits of their back catalogue from their sell-out shows at London International Mime Festival 2023. Mixing ballet and contemporary dance with drag, satire, mime and lip-syncing, Tits & Teeth is a variety show like no other.

Performed portraits of famous and infamous people will appear before you. Catch a hilarious double-headed Barbara Cartland and an imagined meeting between modernist composer John Cage and musical theatre legend Elaine Paige. They are joined by some all-time favourites; Rasputin, Grace Jones, Dame Margot Fonteyn and a Kathak-dancing Winston Churchill. Don’t know these amazing cultural figures? You soon will! See them at Blackpool Grand as part of their whirlwind tour.

Co-directed by Daniel Hay-Gordon and Eleanor Perry, Thick & Tight celebrates high and low art in all its variety, splendour and stupidity. Joining the company are a knockout cast of dancers (Vidya Patel, Oxana Panchenko, Danny Smith and Azara Meghie) drawn from the likes of Michael Clark, Talawa and BBC Young Dancer of The Year.

“There is nobody else quite like them… smart, continually surprising and a great, mischievous night out…. a perfect example of Thick & Tight’s expansive and embracing queer aesthetic.”

★★★★ The Times

“riotously funny, subtly thoughtful, well-researched and always meticulously crafted… simply divine”

★★★★ The Stage

“the duo at their absolute sophisticated best… beautifully performed and life-enhancing”

★★★★ The Guardian
