KitchenSink experimentalism, Choreographed Comedy, Pathos in a Posing pouch, fags, drags & carrier bags - while mouthing the words.

Described as the “beating spleen of East London’s cabaret autopsy”, The LipSinkers (hope to) reach a milestone twentieth anniversary in 2026 and mark the end of the teenage dream, facing an uncertain future, with some Christmas knits. ..they cannot fly, and their short, stumpy legs render them incapable of jumping, or even walking efficiently on flat surfaces.

Earth stood hard as iron,

ice hung off their tits,

yet gave they up,

nay yuletide hope for a case of Christmas knits”

Catastrophic punk ethos performance, and chilling communist drag discourse from your friendly neighbourhood hoofers and goofers.

The LipSinkers are an international touring theatre company formed in London’s East End in 2006. Mixing pop and politics for the likes of Duckie, Guilty Pleasures and David Hoyle and performing their own hour long shows in and around London, at fringes in Edinburgh & Adelaide and all over the UK.

The LipSinkers: We’ve Got Christmas Knits

Fri 19 December

ART31

ART31 takes its name from Article 31 of the UN Convention on the Rights of a Child, which states that ‘Children have the right to relax and play, and to join in a wide range of cultural, artistic and other recreational activities’.

ART31 is a vision created with, by, and for young people in Kent, championing the belief that all children and young people have an entitlement to access high quality arts and culture, to empower them to achieve their creative potential, and to genuinely engage young people as equal partners in any decision making that affects them.

The ART31 Youth Board is made up of young people from across Kent aged 13-25 who steer its governance, and influence policy and practice across the county and beyond, challenging the creative sector to examine existing ways of working and integrate young people into the core of their practice.
