They are also working with Bitter Like A Lemon on ‘In Our Veins’ at the Peacock (April 10-20th, [tickets here](https://bit.ly/2BwOmqq)). In drag, they go by Avoca Reaction (cos that’s what drag should do). Avoca is an intergender drag entity who believes that drag is the expression of our oppression. You can catch Avoca at ‘Avocas Big Durty Queer Cabaret’ on January 17th at 8pm in Drop Dead Twice.
