Dave Lynn has been bringing his distinctive cabaret shows to audiences in Brighton and around the UK for more years than he would care to remember. In fact, he's been 34 years old for more years than we can remember...
If Dave wasn't already a household name, then by the time he'd finished filming for the Channel Four hit, Faking It, he must have known he would be. The episode followed the transformation of a Navy Officer to drag cabaret performer, Britney Ferry, under Dave's close mentorship, and the show brought Dave to the attention of millions of homes. Other featured credits include a cameo in the highly acclaimed feelgood movie, Beautiful Thing... A certain jar of pour-over cooking sauce has never been so popular. Dave has also given Anne Robinson a run for her money on three special episodes of the BBC flagship quiz, The Weakest Link - where in one memorable moment he dished out some sound fashion advice on Anne's hair during his walk of shame.
Dave's stage credits, both in and out of wigs and heels, include Torch Song Trilogy, Rocky Horror and Dragula. He's also a perennial favourite on the panto circuit, his latest being an Ugly Sister in Cinderella at the Wimbledon Theatre opposite a stellar cast. As part of the House of Homosexual Culture series in London's Drill Hall, Dave performed with Chris Green of Tina C and Ida Barr fame in an improvised two-hander exploring the different facets of character and drag performing.
Following an extremely successful run at the beginning of 2006, Dave is also reprising the role of Diamond Lil in the poignant and often comic, Diamond, from May 2006 at the King's Head Theatre in Islington.
The drag queen of drag queens.
