Icy Gays presents: Joey Arias & Kristian Hoffman - Lightning Strikes

New York underground legend Joey Arias returns to London with collaborator Kristian Hoffman for Lightning Strikes, a tribute to the life and music of Klaus Nomi.

Arias and acclaimed singer/songwriter Hoffman celebrate the life of the late German counter-tenor Klaus Nomi who would have turned 70 in 2014. Along with songs by Nomi, the show also features 70s rock anthems, popular standards as well as original material.

In a career spanning singing with David Bowie; hanging out with Andy Warhol; compering Cirque du Soleil’s Zumanity; and sold out shows at London’s Southbank Centre and Soho Theatre - New York diva Arias is a musical force to be reckoned with. Fellow East Village stalwart Hoffman was an active figure in NYC’s 1980s No Wave scene and wrote some of Nomi's signature songs.

Support comes from London’s award winning cabaret stars Bourgeois & Maurice.
