Qtopia Sydney: Daddy, Don’t Drop the Soap!
6 June @ 9:30 pm - 10:30 pm AEST

Brent Thorpe brings his iconic character ‘daddy’ to Qtopia’s Pride Festival in this rollicking celebration of queer pride!
Directed by Adam Cook, and Featuring ‘Daddy’s Boys’ Travis De Jonk and Patrick Phillips, Don’t Drop the Soap! takes us from crazy nights at Sydney’s famous Taxi Club to stories about cruising, gay bars and sweaty bathhouses and darkrooms, to the political clout of the Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence.
Fusing high-energy autobiographical storytelling with the camp and sexy vibe of the global queer club scene, this is a celebration of queer culture at its best, and the ongoing importance of Gay Pride for LGBTQIA+ people of all ages, especially the Sydney Gay and Lesbian Mardi Gras.
DADDY remains committed to ageing disgracefully and to live by his motto, ‘You are never too old to take a pill and dance on a podium in a jockstrap.’
