ABOUT

The lobster prom queen extravaganza is back from outer space and in the words of Pitbull: “I'm here to entertain.”

In the words of Pitbull:
“I'm taking all the negatives in my life, and turning them into a positive.”
“I'm definitely someone who enjoys life and wakes up with a ball of energy.”
“Look, Pitbull is a product.”
“Any time I see anything moving onstage, I'm cautious about it.”

All of these statements are applicable to the next instalment of our lobster prom queen extravaganza from outer space but also very much from within the planet Earth, our home, and your home too if you, like us, celebrate the inbetweeners (not the channel 4 programme), the artists who don’t fit neatly into any tightly choreographed capitalist category (not the channel 4 programme), who want to explore the expectations around their work in a space where nobody knows what on earth is going to happen next (not the channel 4 programme).

Miss Ellaneous is not quite drag, not quite comedy, not quite theatre or spoken word, etc But you should most probably expect, anti-capitalist tap dancing, background noise (with assorted plastic accessories), emotional polystyrene moments™, party bags - order yours in advance for the interval, a comprehensive economic plan for the year ahead - order yours in advance for the interval, Morticia Addams on the Spoons, various crustaceans on the Theremin, Political Borders (detachable), alcohol (optional), wigs (probable), hay fever (possible but ideally avoidable), a very very vague plotline, inevitable political commentary. Ultimately, Miss Ellaneous aims to create a space for performers and artists struggling to define ‘what it is that they do’ and argues that the pressure to fit into a genre or box to explain and market their work is limiting, alienating and ultimately, a bit boring.
