It's drag, it's comedy, it's cabaret, it's clown. Parker Dee is a wannabe woke 'cis-het-straight-white-man'. His girlfriend taught him how to be a sensitive guy, but when she dumped him, he found himself teetering on the edge of the Manosphere!
What's a guy to do but write a deeply moving and fearlessly exposing cabaret show?
Watch him battle back from heartbreak with quirky takes on pop standards and killingly witty original songs – the bluesy 'Manspreading' and the heartrending Brel-like ballad 'Ow, Baby'. Ungirlfriended is full of poignant moments, hilarious twists and snazzy outfits. Anyone with a heart should see it.
Peta Lily is a director, performer, theatre maker. One of the main practitioners in the early physical theatre movement, she trained with Le Coq, Gaulier, Monika Pagneux, Yoshi Oida, Sankai Juku (Butoh Dance), Mike Alfreds (Theatre Direction) and Carlo Boso (Commedia dell'Arte).
