Youd assume that being part of the 2022 Newcastle Drag Idolwinning duo: Bonnie Love & Ben Dover, would be the start of a star-studded life.
Bonnie Love is soaring but for Ben Dover, things just havent clicked. Despite having all the ingredients of a heartthrob greasy hair tied back with a bandana, perfectly trimmed stubble, and a little black book full of Edam-esq chat up lines Ben Dover is no closer to his dream showbiz life.
Three years since breaking onto the scene, he's been forced to take the only gig available to him: The Bard of Beer a summer Santa-type role. But instead of smelly children sneezing, drooling, and coughing all over him while he reads The Night Before Christmas, its smelly hipster brewery boys invading his personal space, blowing beer foam from their wispy whiskers as they chortle at his haikus hailing the hops.
He doesnt even like beer hed rather have a Smirnoff Ice. But that's acting, darling
Ben Dover: The Bard of Beer is part lip-sync drag show, part poetry night, and part beer tasting created by the award-winning Ali Pritchard and Rebecca Glendinning-Laycock.
