Stan/Stanley is a performance persona which developed from Reed Rushes' early drag performances as the Drag King "Manly Stanley" in London. "Manly Stanley" won Europe's largest drag competition in 2018 and came runner up in 2017. He was described by The Guardian as "Brilliantly subverting extreme masculinity… so macho [he] ate raw steak on stage" Since these early performances Rushes has incorporated their drag practice into their visual art and movement practice. Donned in a suit and a full face of silver, the perfect trophy husband... Stan collaborates with performance artist Kate Williams, a.k.a. Star, as the performance duo Star & Stan.
