Review: Danny Beard, Straight Expectations at Alexandra, Birmingham

midlandsrainbow

Straight Expectations is a new solo tour from Drag Race UK winner, Danny Beard, which sees them hit the road with a full live band. This scandalously superb show, worthy of a 'gossip goddess', is a true showcase of Danny's incredible singing voice as well as their quick, sharp wit in both scripted comedy and ad-libbed audience interaction.


Poster for Danny Beard's Straight Expectations shows Danny at the centre in a red outfit with matching gloves. They wear their signature white faced make-up and a black and white wig.

An extravaganza of feathered frivolity and victorious vocals, Danny delivers a performance so sparkling that it rivals the glittering, rhinestoned, Mackie-esque outfits and bedazzled wigs they wear throughout the show.


While between numbers, Danny relishes every opportunity to make the audience laugh with their biting reads or offer insights on the LGBTQ+ community and the world with an honesty that listeners of The Gossip Gays will be deeply familiar with. The stunning, sassy and shady, singing superstar, Danny Beard, is a true showcase of British drag at its finest, in a show that will surely raise their ‘National Treasure’ status.


Following Birmingham, you can see Danny Beard's Straight Expectations in Poole, Bristol, Sheffield, Lincoln, Hull, Liverpool, Salford, Brighton, Milton Keynes, Bedford, and London. Book tickets here
