His Terectomy

The sex positive, film obsessed drag king.

Born as a creative outlet during the 2020 lockdowns, His Terectomy has taken the online world by storm before debuting his live act at the Hope Theatre in July 2021 as part of Blue Glass Theatre's Hope Box.

Most recently, His Terectomy devised and performed their first full length show, The Father, The Son and The Unholy F**kboys, exploring how masculinity is portrayed in cinema through a queer, comedic lens. The show performed at the Alma Tavern Theatre, Bristol and the Rondo Theatre, Bath in September 2022 to glowing audience reviews.

They have blue accented make-up, a blue-silver glitter moustache and goatee, and their hair is 1950's style coif of platinum blond and blue hair. They are wearing a shiny blue suit and blue and white striped dress shirt. In one hand, they hold a bag of popcorn, while the other feeds popcorn into his mouth.

His Terectomy, a white, masculine drag king, recreates the iconic group poster of the 1996 film, Trainspotting. From left to right they impersonate Franco Begbie (wearing a floral shirt and holding up two fingers in mock aggression), Diane Coulston (wearing a love heart jumper, leaning flirtatiously into the camera with arms folded behind their back), Sick Boy (wearing a suit and pointing a finger gun at the camera), Spud (wearing a checked shirt and beaming into the camera whilst beckoning with one hand), and Mark Renton (wearing a white t-shirt with arms folded across their chest as if really cold). Framed below the characters is a banner that reads 'His Terectomy' in black letters with an orange background.

From left to right, His impersonates Vincent Vega (wearing a dark suit and bending slightly as if dancing the twist) and Mia Wallace (wearing a white dress shirt and dancing with one arm raised as if boogying). The background is in red with yellow text reading 'His Terectomy'.
