This show belongs to the Fringe2020 season. This season is now over.

Adventures of the Bearded Lady

Dream job, huge fanbase and in a committed relationship with a hunky dancing bear. Everything was going right for the bearded lady; until her secret came out... Appropriating Leonardos from da Vinci to DiCaprio, a cross-dressing journey and joyful antidote to a world that asks people to hide or change who they are. 'Van der Beek is a brilliantly understated comic writer and performer who draws on the work of Andy Warhol and Lady Gaga, as well as the punk spirit of Deborah Harry and the Sex Pistols' (Scotsman).

Van der Beek has worked with the BBC, Soho Theatre, Shoreditch House, The Old Vic Tunnels, The Pleasance, Glastonbury Festival, The Barbican, The Vaults, Gingerline, Artichoke and Camden People's Theatre.

Presented by: Theodora van der Beek

I make solo theatre shows that challenge the gender binary by asking you to think for yourself and be who you are. I speak to the underdogs and the fat cats, asking them to recognise the mechanics of power and privilege.

I am supported by the Arts Council, and have worked with many great people and companies, including the BBC, Soho Theatre, Shoreditch House, Richmix, The Old Vic Tunnels, The Pleasance, Glastonbury Festival, The Barbican, The Vaults, Gingerline, Artichoke, Camden People's Theatre, Hornsey Town Hall, CUNTemporary and Lidl.

I have four solo shows: My Death, Egg, The Adventures of the Bearded Lady and Drink Your Pink.

I run a performance event called Scribble Pie. It's a Show & Tell for adults.
