Paul Culshaw - Drag Queen Act - Liverpool, North West England Event Location: Queens Nook, Gbar, Epstein Event Type: Comedy performance/ DJ 20th December 2023

I have been to see Paul as a drag act and a nightclub DJ and his performances are brilliant, Drag act I have been to see multiple times and his talent shines through, so funny and different each time! Paul’s genre of music is a breath of fresh air, the music he plays leaves me coming back again and again, I love how he documents his performance and posts his playlists, something that no other DJ does. If you are looking for quality entertainment Paul is your man (or queen)

Paul Culshaw - Drag Queen Act - Liverpool, North West England Event Location: Liverpool Event Type: Theatre- dj set - stand up comed 20th September 2023

I've had the honour of experiencing Paul's diverse artistry on many occasions. Whether this be stand up comedy, drag performance or acting, one thing is always guaranteed - an outstanding, fun, and professional experience. Paul's passion for his craft is always evident in his performance. A real professional with true talent. Paul's "alternative drag show and experience" at the Epstein Theatre was nothing short of incredible. The laughs, the cries and the moments shared with the audience is rare to see In today's industry.

Meet the Act

I have been an entertainer in various shapes and forms since a very early age. I landed the main role in the school play aged 5, in 'Mr Bear' as 'Mr Bear'. I landed my first professional Acting job aged 12, playing John Paul Freeman in the television serial drama 'Springhill' written by Russell T. Davies (It's a Sin, Queer as Folk)
I love making memories with people and audiences and I am quite addicted to making people FEEL. To LAUGH if I'm doing my drag act with comedy. To DANCE if it's a DJ set and I'm playing feel-good music across the genres. or if it's a singing gig dressed as myself ... ? Just to FEEL SOMETHING- whether the song is slow and emotive- or if it's upbeat and dancey. You cannot beat that connection with an audience.
