Will Armstrong

Director Comedian / Comedy Consultant Writer Actor Drag Queen

(he/they)
I am an actor, director, comedian, writer and drag queen. I specialise in making work that is urgent, sharply funny and has an original point of view. As an actor, I trained with NYT's REP Company from 2020-2021. I produce cabaret shows regularly which give new queer alternative comedians a platform to perform. I have directed and assistant directed several projects including The Climate Cabaret at COP26 and GUSH by Abby Vicky-Russell which ran at Soho Theatre and Vaults Festival.
