Description:
Custard Club is the Brighton Fringe Bursary Winner 2026 and winner of the Pebble Trust Young People's Bursary. It was performed at the Lantern Theatre from 24 to 28 May.
Custard Club tells the story of Nancy, a young woman whose fraught search for queer community pushes her to the most sensible solution she can muster: summoning four women from across the twentieth century to her kitchen table for an unforgettable evening of passive aggression, genuine aggression, impromptu drag numbers and custard fights. At times, Custard Club is a poignant look at queer costuming, coding and community-building, at others, a campy, raucous spectacle.
