Find her up and down the aisles or going rusty upturned in a ditch, Dolly Trolley is a Yorkshire-born drag queen based in London who is completely bonkers, utterly delightful and always at 100mph. Since debuting in early 2017, she’s become a household name of the UK drag cabaret scene, known for high energy, dynamic burlesque acts, fierce dance moves, hilarious parodies, rip-roaring hosting and Drag Aerobics. She’s a versatile performer full of surprises, commonly reviewed: “I’m exhausted just from watching”.

She’s a regular feature of London’s top cabarets and drag shows, 2nd in Miss Burlesque UK 2019, performed in burlesque festivals across the UK, Europe and in Australia, entertained at UK music festivals, is assistant producer for Pride in London’s “Pride’s Got Talent”, and created London’s draglesque show, Cabaret Sauvignon.

Dolly Trolley is the world’s leading drag fitness instructor (self-titled, but unchallenged) with Drag Aerobics, which she created in Shoreditch in February 2019, a dancercise party workout event, and took the class online when coronavirus hit the UK in March 2020 where it became a global internet phenomenon and continues to be a favourite weekly online event.

She grew up in a working class, single parent family in Leeds, performing alongside education or work since her early teens. Before drag, she had a data analytics career in in the airline and tourism industry after 4 years at Oxford University, where she graduated with a masters degree in Mathematics.
