Hunter King Presents - A Northern Tr*nny Hootenanny
About this Event
A Northern Tr*nny Hootenanny
Saddle up for a joy-fuelled, sequin-spattered gender journey of self discovery, as Canal Street Kings founder, trans trailblazer and international cabaret renegade Hunter King presents his debut musical, A Northern Tr*nny Hootenanny, ‘maid in the wild, wild, north west’. An award-winning, queer parody epic where Disney meets Dolly Parton by way of Manchester’s gay village.
Inspired by Hunter’s real-life transition and the transformative power of drag, this foot-stomping, pun-slinging hoedown tells the tale of a milkmaid on a mission to discover their authentic self. After setting off from their small town and thinking they’ve finally found freedom, they meet a mysterious man with a moustache and a secret – and suddenly, self-discovery gets a whole lot hairier.
Expect epic musical parodies, dazzling vocals, unashamedly terrible puns, “a scene stealing cow”, and a “hootenanny with heart” (Canal St Online, 2025).
"The North Star Rises! If you want a funny, emotional story that features drag and hilarity while wearing its heart on its sequined sleeve, A Northern Tr*nny Hootenanny is a must-see." ★★★★ (A Young(ish) Perspective, 2026)
This performance is a performance in a relaxed manor - comes as you are!
