The lineup of performers is a testament to Briefs Factory’s commitment to pushing boundaries and redefining entertainment. Mark “Captain Kidd” Winmill ignites the stage with his fiery display of showmanship, wielding LED hula hoops with mesmerizing skill. Thomas Worrell takes flight with breathtaking grace as he commands the Lyra, showcasing aerial feats that defy gravity.

But it’s not just about individual talents; it’s about the synergy of the ensemble. Luka Hubbard, aka Nastia, and Dylan Rodriguez, aka Serenity, captivate with their dynamic acrobatics, evoking the spirit of Romy and Michele with a twist of daring athleticism. Brett Rosengreen, our Fab Daddy, exudes charisma as he struts his stuff, while Rowan Thomas mesmerizes with his mastery of the Cyr wheel.

And then there’s Dale Woodridge-Brown, whose presence adds an extra layer of intrigue to the spectacle. Each performer brings their unique flair to the stage, yet together they form a kaleidoscope of creativity and camaraderie.

What sets BRIEFS: Dirty Laundry apart is its fearless embrace of the unconventional. Inspired by circus, drag, dance, burlesque, and comedy, the show transcends boundaries to deliver a truly immersive experience.
