For lovers of drag, Queer Contact 2023 brings the hilarious and iconic drag comedian, Lady Bushra to the stage.

Hailing from Bradford, and shortlisted for the 2021 BBC New Comedy Awards, Lady Bushra is the alter ego of British Asian comedian Amir. A blend of stand-up comedy, ingenious lipsync performance and one-liners, Lady Bushra is often seen performing her sold-out ‘Drag Comedy Cabaret’ show across the UK.

Lady Bushra is performing as part of Queer Contact 2023, Contact‘s flagship LGBTQ arts festival.
