COUNT DYKULA
Soho Theatre, Tue 11 Feb – Sat 1 Mar 25 2025
and Edinburgh Fringe 2025
Co-created with AirlockTheatre in association with Soho Theatre
COUNT DYKULA is a genre and gender bending goth adventure musical that asks the question: why are we still pressuring queer people to fit in with straight culture?
Butch loner Count Dykula isn't the typical vampire at Scare University; she’s not like the ultra-femme, busty-bloodsucker school principal. She loves a garlic naan and can only successfully turn into a bat after a couple of beers. With her masculine pride hanging on by a cheap carabiner, Dykula's mission is to take down Scare U's sinister ruling that there is a 'right way to be a monster'.
This ‘total crowd-pleaser' (★★★★ A Young(ish) Perspective) of a show premiered at Soho Theatre’s Main House in 2025 to critical acclaim.
