Dina Martina is a stunning and surreal performance - on 10 May at 9.30pm - art star and drag sensation. She makes her UK debut following acclaimed shows in New York and across the States.
"What a gem! Dina Martina is a sparkly spot in our drab world!" Time Out New York
Packed with ludicrous song and dance, overburdened costumes, wonderfully horrifying video and bizarre audience gifts, Dina Martina's shows have become synonymous with jaw-dropping pathos and mind-blowing comedy. She has been hailed as "a train wreck in heels", "like Vegas on crack", "hilariously tragic", and "one of the best nightmares you'll ever have".
Seattle performer Grady West first performed as Dina Martina at Seattle's Centre on Contemporary Art in 1989. She has since developed into a multi-faceted persona with an extremely devoted following and has performed at cult venues from San Francisco's legendary Josie's Cabaret to The Cutting Room in New York. During her career, she has attracted fans including Whoopi Goldberg, John Cameron Mitchell and John Waters.
