The Cycling Man, a goofy drag king show

LUND COMEDY FESTIVAL

The Cycling Man is a quirky drag king show featuring a middle-aged, newly single character on the brink of a personal crisis. Join him on a journey of self-discovery through this absurd and deeply flawed narrative.

This performance is brought to you by the award-winning British character comedian Kathy Maniura, a BBC New Comedian shortlisted in 2023 and Sketch Off winner in 2020.

The show has been highly praised, being named one of the best-reviewed shows at the Edinburgh Fringe 2025. Additionally, Kathy was a finalist in Europe’s largest drag king competition, Man Up!, in 2023.
