This July Exeter Phoenix presents a stunning line-up of new and exciting theatre, performance, cabaret and workshops. The Summer Showcase will run from Wednesday 18th – Sunday 22 July.

This July Showcase opens with a free cabaret workshop for beginners with local performance artist Rhys Slade-Jones, who will also be performing his new show The Land Of My Fathers And Mothers And Some Other People. Exeter Phoenix’s associate artist Willy Hudson presents a free LGBTQ+ writing workshop, alongside a preview of his Edinburgh Fringe-bound show Bottom.

Following on from their Edinburgh Fringe smash-hit We Are Ian, In Bed With My Brother return with their Tricky Second Album, which promises to be a riotous evening out. The festival will also feature up-and-coming comedian KT Beard, who began her comedy career on social media, amassing over 85k followers before taking to stand-up.

Also featured throughout the Showcase will be new writing Fallen, In Love from local young playwright Jonny Hibbs, immersive audio performance Noise and dystopian comedy with Kin. Trio Of Men present a politically-inspired choral performance by a community choir with Dancing On Eggshells and female empowerment theatre company Flip The Bird make an appearance with Women Like You.

The Showcase will be brought to a close on Sunday 22nd July by Exeter Phoenix’s resident cabaret act Baby G, who has something to say about the crazy, colourful world of drag.
