I Was Dancing in the Lesbian Bar
Creative Producer
Musician turned stand-up comedian Holly Redford Jones is dancing in a Lesbian Bar and you’re invited…
Set in an imaginary Lesbian Bar, this bold new show is a sonic love letter to sapphic institutions of a bygone era and a celebration of queer women of the past, present and future.
Drawing from personal experience and musical influences ranging from Dusty Springfield to Steps, this show is a dance through nostalgic tales of unsung, unsanitised lesbian debauchery.
On behalf of the LGBTQ+ community and their allies, Redford Jones seeks answers to the biggest questions: Where have all the Lesbian Bars gone? How do you know when you’re in a Lesbian Bar? And just how did Chesterfield’s Crooked Spire get to be so crooked?
The full-length show will preview at Waterside Arts on 16th and 17th May (tickets/info here) and premieres at Edinburgh Fringe 2025.
