Saddle up for a joy-fuelled, sequin-spattered gender journey of self discovery, as Canal Street Kings
founder, trans trailblazer and international cabaret renegade Hunter King presents his debut musical, A
Northern Tr*nny Hootenanny, ‘maid in the wild, wild, north west’. An award winning, queer parody
epic where Disney meets Dolly Parton by way of Manchester’s gay village.

Inspired by Hunter’s real-life transition and the transformative power of drag, this foot-stomping, punslinging hoedown tells the tale of a milkmaid on a mission to discover their authentic self. After setting
off from their small town and thinking they’ve finally found freedom, they meet a mysterious man
with a moustache and a secret — and suddenly, self-discovery gets a whole lot hairier.

Expect epic musical parodies, dazzling vocals, unashamedly terrible puns, “a scene stealing cow”, and
a “hootenanny with heart” (Canal St Online, 2025).
