Jonny Woo’s latest personal show, Suburbia, about his life from the suburbs of Kent to the queer scene in London and the sex clubs of New York received rave reviews and the Brighton Fringe Award for Excellence at The Edinburgh Fringe, 2025. Blending story-telling, drag, song, spoken word and burlesque, this is easily his most revealing show yet, in more ways than one.

Now in his fifties, Jonny reflects back at the people and moments that made him the man and the performer he is today. He grew up in The Medway Towns and found drugs and the club scene in the early 1990’s before exploring his drag alter ego in NYC at the turn of the Millennium. Memories of his first sexual experience and his first “drag” inspiration echo like ghosts throughout and amongst the wild confessions he confronts his fears and triumphs in this unique coming of age story. The presence of a mysterious suburban “cross-dresser” permeates his narrative in a show which is as much a feast for the eyes as for the soul.
