Biography
Rosie Lugosi, the Vampire Queen Cabaret chanteuse, incomparable compere and electrifying poet ‘Hugely entertaining, tough-talking … a celebration of female sexuality, of power and liberation.’ Carol Ann Duffy ‘Manchester’s very own undead performer extraordinaire.’ The Times ‘Rosie Lugosi… is here to provoke our thoughts and laughter, and remind us that being gay doesn’t have to relegate you to speculation over the latest designer label. All power to her.’ PS ‘A truly unique performer and one that straddles the literature, SM and queercore scenes with ease.’ Designer Magazine 'Greetings Mortals... I do hope you're all sitting uncomfortably.' So begins another evening of vampiric delight with Rosie Lugosi, the Lesbian Vampire Queen. She has been tantalising audiences with her unique blend of poetic perversion, humour, mayhem and song for six years. She has performed at events as diverse as The Cheltenham Literature Festival and SM Pride. Rosie has an eclectic writing and performance history, ranging from singing in 80s Goth band The March Violets, to her current incarnation as Rosie Lugosi the Vampire Queen, electrifying performance poet. As well as three solo collections of poetry (Hell and Eden, Coming Out At Night and Creatures of the Night), her award-winning short stories, poems and essays have been widely anthologised. Mapping the Interior, her first novel, is currently with an agent. She has won both the Erotic Oscar for Performance Artist of the Year and the Diva Award for Solo Performer.
