David Hoyle’s fascinating three-week takeover of Aviva Studios culminates with a spectacular performance finale. Still Got It..!? threatens to be the artist’s most impressive Manchester gig yet and is billed as “a Saturday night variety show like no other”.

Following the extraordinary three-week programme of events, commissioned and produced by Factory International, Hoyle will return to his natural habitat – live on stage – for a thrilling performance with friends from the worlds of burlesque, music, drag, film, circus and cabaret.

Still Got It..!? promises to be a chocolate box of performative delights. Blending the best of seaside culture with the avant-garde, Hoyle is set to bring all the comedy, anarchy and glamour he’s known and loved for. Don’t miss this one-night-only event – the grand finale of his Aviva Studios residency.
