Shows don’t come much clearer in terms of doing what they say they will than Dizney In Drag (the z is to stop any lawsuits, and once you’ve seen this you’ll understand why). If any megalith of popular culture is ripe for the drag treatment, it’s vintage Disney, with its doe-eyed heroines, mulleted princes and rigidly defined gender roles. To all of this, Australian cabaret troupe The Hairy Godmothers take an affectionate and diamond-encrusted pickaxe, sending up characters from Snow White (with her dwarves Grumpy, Dopey and Sleazy) to Gaston (for whose name the cast find an inspired rhyme in the finale). 

This is basically an X-rated panto which follows Prince Charming and his Hairy Godmother on a quest to find the owner of a lost glass slipper. On the way we meet various princesses in their new drag guises. There’s BDSM Ariel whose ‘gadgets and gizmos aplenty’ take on a brand new meaning; Snow White who likes to snort her namesake; and Tinkerbell, whose take on a classic Pocahontas song sees her flinging a used tampon into the crowd.

There are more sex puns in the show than gold coins in Aladdin’s cave, but serious (if superficial) references to consent and gender freedom also find a place here. And while the humour is one-note (relying almost entirely on the dissonance between Disney and the bawdy treatment it’s given), who can complain when both cast and audience are having such raucous fun?

Dizney In Drag: Once Upon A Parody, Gilded Balloon Patter Hoose, until 27 August, 6.30pm.
