New York sensation Taylor Mac took the 2006 Edinburgh Festival Fringe by storm, garnering rave reviews across the board and scooping up a coveted Herald Angel Award. A political drag artist with loads of pathos and a little ukulele, Taylor sings songs of love, loss, fear, anger, and redemption, all while looking fabulous.

“It’s not just that his delivery is flawless. It’s not just that he’s beautiful and charming. It’s that his smart, funny, tragic songs are lifeaffirming in their universality, yet delivered in such an understated way he’s on to the next before you realise the profundity of what he’s said. If we’re used to drag that stereotypes gender and reduces possibilities with its bitchy schtick, Taylor Mac is something entirely different, expansive and full of potential.” The Scotsman.
