In 2021, they won Not Another Drag Competition (Royal Vauxhall Tavern) and have since been largely working in draft, cabaret and nightlife. In 2023, they were part of Travis Alabanza’s Sound of the Underground (Royal Court) and Emma Frankland’s Galatea at Brighton Festival.

Their films have been funded by Jerwood Arts and screened at Thunderdance, Raindance, London Short Film Festival, ICA and The Photographers Gallery and won multiple awards.
