A lot of identities used to fight for attention in Titi Lee’s life. Their confessional comedy show with songs and drag is a way of making some peace with them all, while throwing in boyband dance moves and generally cutting loose. Raised by high-achieving Taiwanese parents, the likeable Los Angelite has used a team of therapists, a fortune teller, cosmetic surgery and astrology to finally feel happy with who they are. That is, a non-binary bisexual who loves Ariana Grande, driving a Prius and spanking. 

Titi (pronounced ‘Teetee’ as in the initials from their Chinese name Tai Tai, not ‘titty’, although tits are a very important part of the show) begins with fun material about queer threesomes, vibrators and creepy fans who harbour an Asian-girl fetish. But the show, written during a trip to Taipei, deepens when they drill down into body dsymorphia, heart surgery and suicide. An appearance from Lee’s Dragon Ball XXL alter ego ties up some loose ends and displays a way more confident self, busting out their undies. Some sections feel nervously rattled through, but like their life, this show is an ongoing work-in-progress and witnessing Titi Lee’s real-time evolution is a joy.

Titi Lee: Good Girl Gone Baddie, Just The Tonic At Cabaret Voltaire, until 25 August, 12.30pm.
