True stories. Big wigs. Even bigger key changes.
Each show, a legendary drag queen takes centre stage to spill the tea, sharing real and unfiltered stories from their life.
The kind of tales too chaotic for brunch. Too honest for Instagram. Too iconic to stay quiet.
Then a hand-picked team of comedians transforms those confessions into completely improvised musical numbers. Power ballads about messy bottoms. Gospel anthems about chemical enlightenment. Big finishes about… big finishes.
Nothing is scripted. Everything is sung.

A spontaneous biography of a real fake person!
LifeStory celebrates an unique and fascinating life. The only catch is the life is of a completely fictional person - and it’s created spontaneously on stage.

Each performance is completely unique and original, with the audience inspiring the performers to follow an extraordinary life of a (mostly) normal person. You’ll laugh. You might even cry. But you’ll never forget this Lifestory!
