Dolphin Orgies, Intersex snails, Gay giraffes... Join award-winning drag king, Bi-Curious George, London’s most loveable nature boy, on a raucous romp through the animal kingdom; the wildest and queerest kingdom of them all as he shatters the heteronormative binaries through which we view the natural world; combining stand-up comedy, parody songs and drag in the form of a nature documentary.

Join us at at 18:30 for a chance to enjoy the museum after hours with a drink from our bar and chat to our experts, Ross Brooks, Connor Butler and Daniel Villar, as they show examples of the rainbow of sexual behaviour expressed in the animal kingdom and our changing attitudes to studying it before a romp through the animal kingdom with Bi-Curious George at 20:00-21:00.
