Dr Adam Perchard: Interview with the Vamp

A riotous evening of original music, vocal fireworks, and rampant repartee from two queer theatre icons: Richard Thomas and Dr Adam Perchard.

With an Olivier Award-winning composer asking the questions and an international singing star giving the answers, this is an interview like you’ve never seen – or heard.

Over the course of an hour, Richard Thomas and Dr Adam Perchard take you on a whirlwind musical tour of the doctor’s brain. By turns hilarious, tender, silly, dark, and joyful, the interview covers everything from giant bugs to body positivity, from finding love to murderous cakes, from prejudice to Proust’s chihuahua – and it reveals what’s really going through your university lecturer’s brain when they’re teaching you Romantic poetry…

Dr Adam Perchard is a mainstay of cabaret stages across Europe and the US and an icon of the East London queer scene. They have performed at the National Theatre, London Coliseum, Soho Theatre, Hackney Empire, and on Channel 4, and their solo show Bathtime for Britain is currently touring major theatres across the UK.

Richard Thomas (Jerry Springer the Opera, Made in Dagenham, and Tracey Ullman Show BBC1/HBO) is an Olivier Award-winning composer and lyricist. His work has been performed all over the world from Carnegie Hall, National Theatre, Royal Opera House, Sydney Opera House, to the West End and every Gay Pride on the planet.
