Autobiographical, raucously political and accidentally profound, Boy in a Dress follows the life story thus far of La JohnJoseph, a third-gendered, fallen Catholic, ex-fashion model from the wrong side of the tracks, from the council estates of Merseyside to the strip clubs of New York. Boy in a Dress is an exhilarating mix of Vaudeville, song, striptease and philosophy, exploring intersections between sexuality and faith, class and enfranchisement, gender ambiguity and feminism, in a frank and charming tale.

Boy in a Dress brings together an outrageous but heartfelt slew of true-life tales studded with original versions of iconic songs from artists such as Leonard Cohen, Justin V. Bond and Guns ‘n’ Roses.
