From the producer of Dragged Tae the Steamie comes an award-winning new comedy that’s fierce, funny, and full of heart.
Winner of The Creative Arts Award at the Proud Scotland Awards 2025, this powerful new play by Grant F Kidd and James T Smith follows three unforgettable drag queens -The Jessies - and the staff of the infamous Jessie’s Bar in Scotland.
Spanning from 1980 to 1995, the story dives into the highs and lows of queer life during a time of upheaval, hope, and hard-won joy. Through laughter, heartbreak, gossip, and glitter, The Jessies discover what it truly means to find family - not the one you’re born into, but the one you choose.
Set against the backdrop of a changing world, this hilarious and deeply moving play is a celebration of resilience, love, and the enduring power of community.
Content Advisory: Contains adult themes, nudity, period-specific offensive language, and scenes some may find distressing.
