A Drag is Born.

Through comedy, mime and music Edu Diaz tackles complex themes of personal doubt and hiding your real self in a society where you often feel you have to act like everyone else to fit in.

Shining lights, colorful costumes, lots of hair (…body hair!) and a healthy dose of lip sync brings together the story of “The Hairy Godmother”.

This masterpiece is an act of resilience, born in a dark place but fills the theatre with love, freedom and happiness as we observe the metamorphosis of a shy, quiet, straight acting, everyday guy transforming into a sparkling diva.

This joyful rollercoaster of emotions takes us on a whirlwind tour of masterful physical comedy, making us laugh and cry in equal measures.

With a really clever beginning, Edu makes the audience a genuine part of the show, building compassion and empathy that evolves into fanaticism as we witness the birth of a star!

Edu’s amazing show started life as a 5 minute sketch, developed into this wonderful 1 hour show that after a successful run in New York is now being featured at the Edinburgh Fringe.

If you’re quick you still have time to catch “A Drag is Born” at Edinburgh’s Zoo Playground until August 24th. More info at edudiaz.com (http://edudiaz.com)
