TITS & TEETH: A retrospective of a dazzling career.

Thick & Tight are touring the UK with Tits & Teeth, the best bits of their back catalogue from their sell-out shows at London International Mime Festival and The Lowry 2023. Mixing ballet and contemporary dance with drag, satire, mime and lip-syncing, Tits & Teeth is a variety show like no other. 

Performed portraits of famous and infamous people will appear before you. Catch a hilarious double-headed Barbara Cartland and an imagined meeting between modernist composer John Cage and musical theatre legend Elaine Paige. They are joined by some all-time favourites; a raging Marlene Dietrich, a Kathak-dancing Winston Churchill and a disco Rasputin with a surprise up his sleeve… Don’t know these amazing cultural figures? You soon will! See them at Deda as part of their whirlwind tour. 

Co-directed by Daniel Hay-Gordon and Eleanor Perry, Thick & Tight celebrates high and low art in all its variety, splendour and stupidity. Joining the company are a knockout cast of dancers (Vidya Patel, Edd Arnold and Oxana Panchenko) drawn from the likes of Michael Clark, BalletBoyz and BBC Young Dancer of The Year.

“riotously funny, subtly thoughtful and always meticulously crafted… simply divine” The Stage
