A personal show blending storytelling, drag, song, spoken word and burlesque about Jonny Woo's life journey from Kent to the queer scenes of London and New York.
If you are looking for something a bit different to do in Brighton towards the end of May, Jonny Woo is bringing his show, Suburbia, to Ironworks Studios. It is a personal piece that blends storytelling with drag, song, spoken word, and burlesque. The show traces his life journey, moving from his childhood in the suburbs of Kent through to his experiences in the London queer scene and the nightlife of New York. It is worth noting that this production received the Brighton Fringe Award for Excellence at the Edinburgh Fringe in 2025.

The performances at Ironworks Studios are scheduled from the 26th to the 28th of May 2026. If you are planning to go, the venue will be using Studio C for these dates. Tickets are priced at £10. It is important to be aware that this is an 18+ event, so you will need to bring ID if you are lucky enough to look young.
Regarding the content of the show, the organisers have provided some specific warnings that are worth keeping in mind before booking. The performance includes nudity, strong language, and audience interaction. There are also technical elements like smoke and haze effects, as well as strobe lighting. Additionally, the narrative touches on themes related to drug and alcohol abuse. It is a show that covers a lot of ground, so it is good to have that context beforehand. While the show is touring other parts of the country, such as Trafford and Bristol, these specific dates are the ones confirmed for the Brighton run.
