About this show
Meet George. He has a soft belly and a tendency to hide in his shell when he's overwhelmed. Lots of you think he's a pest. You think he's disgusting and that he ruins your garden. But we could all learn a thing or two from George. Bi-Curious George (Queer Planet) returns with a slimy exploration of trans-masculinity, hormones and being a pest. Celebrate sensuality, rotting and renewal in this drag-comedy that offers queer alternatives for anyone with a body. 'Full of energy and charm' (Graham Norton). 'The embodiment of queer joy' (Scotsman).

Cute, clever, endearing and completely unexpected, Snail Trail uses one unlikely little creature to explore some enormous questions about gender, identity and getting to know yourself. Bi-Curious George takes the…

Bi-Curious George: Snail Trail is a raw and honest production, with moments of comedy and one hell of a giant handmade shell.
