Leather Lungs: Son of a Preacher
International artist, Jason Chasland, hits Adelaide Fringe for the South Australian premiere of his delightfully naughty cabaret, Leather Lungs: Son of a Preacher. A master of falsetto and stiletto, this daring deviant crosses with religion, fistfights with sexuality and discos with dildos.
Leather Lungs marries savage wit, outrageous innuendo and alien vocal range to drag you screaming with laughter to the ball where devils dance. Be roused into a world of pleasure, amusement and challenge, with an explosion of songs including powerhouse party anthems by The Weather Girls, Aretha Franklin and Tina Turner.
Fresh from your boyfriend's bed, it takes a lot of blood, sweat and queers to get to this stage and this son of a preacher has broken his shackles.
Warning: contains traces of nuts, (p)leather, sequins and Dusty Springfield.
