About DYKEish
ROADKILL is DYKEish's unflinching autobiographical theatre show about trans euphoria, sexuality, and survival. Following a transphobic hate crime, performer Cosmo creates a show that refuses to be defined by violence. Instead it is about sex, period sex, working at Tesco, living with your parents, and the Rocky Horror Picture Show. Bold, funny, and deeply personal, it is a celebration of queerness and resilience that turns trauma into something joyful and strange.
Why see this show?
Raw, funny, and utterly itself, ROADKILL is queer theatre at its most alive. DYKEish turns a story of survival into something celebratory and strange — a show about trans euphoria and everyday life that refuses to be grim. Brave, original, and not easily forgotten.
