About Frisky
Glamorous, sultry, and a little bit tacky! Whether as a decadently adorned showboy or a commanding leather daddy, Frisky Whispers exudes old-school vaudeville showmanship. This queer cabaret performer is an expert tease, serving up a sumptuous visual feast peppered with camp and glittery flavour wherever he performs.
Originally dreaming of becoming an actor, Frisky soon realised that while he definitely belonged on a stage, his butt did too! Following his debut in November 2017, Frisky emerged onto the UK cabaret scene as an exciting new talent, winning the Judges’ Choice award at Spare Rib Superstar in 2019.
From club basements to grand theatres, Frisky regularly performs at a wide range of venues across the UK, appearing at both well-established and up-and-coming shows and festivals. His repertoire ranges from funny, fascinating, and smart satire to sultry and sensual striptease that invite you to embrace your sexuality — just ask the audience member who came out as gay during one of his acts!
As well as performing, Frisky produces burlesque and cabaret events under his Frisky Presents brand. He is also Cabaret Director at not-for-profit queer community and arts company T(ART) Productions. As a founding member of the Oxfordshire Drag Collective, Frisky launched the group’s regular troupe show SPUDS (Strange People Undertake a Drag Show) in 2018. He now produces long-running queer cabaret show OxPHWOARd (“One of the best nights out in Oxford — Daily Info) and boylesque revue Toxic MasculiniTEASE (“A must-see for creative queers” — Daily Info).
Based in Manchester, Frisky performs all over the UK
