“BUTCH – A Queen’s Struggle To Become A King” is Menno’s debut one-man show, and charts his attempts to get in touch with his masculine side; not an easy feat when you have an unrelenting feminine side in the shape of Kate Bush on E.
“An extremely talented and versatile
performer” Mjka Scott, Reverb Radio
Based on real people and events, the show started life at The Theatre Museum
in London, April 2005, when Menno was given a 20-minute slot as part of
a cabaret night. “Rather than sing a couple of Broadway tunes, I wanted
to do something that was personal and original. I’d just had this weird
experience with a closeted, ‘straight-acting’ army captain, so
I thought I’d talk about that and sing a few songs I’d written
about wanting to be more manly myself”.
“Honest, heartfelt and hysterical” Fringe Report
After doing previews in Brighton and London, “BUTCH…” is
now playing at The Pleasance Dome as part of the Edinburgh Festival. Click
