Thick & Tight - Natural Behaviour

Tue 10 Jun 2025 and Wed 11 Jun 2025

After last year’s award-winning tour of Tits & Teeth, Thick & Tight present a brand new variety show Natural Behaviour, a collection of performed portraits of human and non-human life forms.

Outrageous, beautiful, hilarious and profound, Natural Behaviour is a queer look at what it means to be natural or unnatural within ecology and society.

Thick & Tight’s distinctive mix of extraordinary dance, satire, impersonation, drag and writing will bring to life a tyrannical leopard, post-apocalyptic cockroaches, two moths in moonlight, a lamenting songbird and a lesbian seagull… and that’s just for starters!

Line-up of remarkable artists to be announced soon.

Reviews from previous shows

"Riotously funny, subtly thoughtful, well-researched and always meticulously crafted... simply divine." The Stage

“The duo at their absolute sophisticated best… beautifully performed and life-enhancing.” The Guardian
