Following rave reviews at the 2025 Edinburgh Festival Fringe and a triumphant follow-on UK Autumn tour, character comedian and drag king Daisy Doris May has announced that she will be bringing her hit show ‘Big Night Out’ to London’s iconic Soho Theatre for one final run of five performances, from Tuesday 24th – Saturday 28th March!

Having previously performed solo shows just as Steve Porters, ‘Big Night Out’ has seen Daisy Doris May travel the country, debuting her broader repertoire of character comedy, taking on the challenge for the very first time of performing all three of her iconic characters in one show.

The show has won her countless glowing reviews with audiences falling in love with her three hilarious characters – flawed Guildfordian ladies’ man Steve Porters, self-appointed guru and meditation master Karen Moonstone, and Berlin Klubkid Häns Off. As we meet each in the setting of a bustling club night, a show full of chaos, comedy and Olympic-speed costume changes ensues, and has been called “a show built on joy” (Chortle) and “a deliriously fun and absurdly queer evening” (The Scotsman). ‘Big Night Out’ made it on to British Comedy Guide’s list of the Best Reviewed Shows at the 2025 Edinburgh Fringe.

On this final run of shows at Soho Theatre, May said: “This show has taken me from a rowdy Edinburgh to my first UK tour and I’m incredibly proud of it. So when Soho Theatre invited me (plus Karen, HÄNS, Steve) for one final week, I couldn’t say no.”

Being touted as ‘the next Catherine Tate’ after tour support slots with Hannah Gadsby and over 30 million+ views across TikTok and Instagram, the rising star debuted ‘BIG NIGHT OUT’ in 2025, with a smash hit run and countless sell out shows at the Edinburgh Festival Fringe before going out on her first ever tour across the UK in the autumn, including a three-night run at London’s Underbelly Boulevard.

Daisy Doris May is a drag king, writer and performer known for her bold character-driven comedy storytelling, rooted in queerness and identity.
As Steve Porters, she has received five-star reviews for two solo shows at the Edinburgh Fringe (‘How To Flirt: The TED XXX Talk’ and ‘How To Mate: The TED XXX Talk’), going on to perform at the Soho Theatre, tour supporting Hannah Gadsby at the London Palladium and taking shows to the Adelaide Fringe and Melbourne Comedy Festival.

As Häns Off, Daisy was the winner of MAN UP in 2022, the largest drag king competition in Europe, and was the first drag KING artist for MAC Cosmetics’ Viva Glam campaign.

As Karen Moonstone, Daisy went viral after asking a stranger to film her doing yoga on a Jet2 plane back from Ibiza. The video has had over 25 million views and got reported on in the New York Post.
At last year’s 2025 Adelaide Fringe, Daisy was nominated for Best Comedy. She was a finalist at the 2025 Bristol Comedy Festival, and a runner up in the 2023 Screenshot competition. She holds residences at The Box with her cabaret collective, Häus of Dons.

Her acting screen credits include Sex Education (Netflix), Professor T (ITV), Downton Abbey (ITV), Genius (National Geographic) and The Last Kingdom (Netflix). She is also the voice of the popular C4 show First Dates.
