‘FIXING’ is going out on tour from November 2025
Drag mechanic Natalie Spanner would like to teach you all about holistic car care – how to look after our cars, but also ourselves – and invite you to get down and dirty under the bonnet.
She’s also here to help Matt navigate childhood memories of the time just after Matt’s parents divorced, when everything seemed like an adventure. The time Matt and their dad were closest.
These two worlds collide in a show which is both outrageous and touching, laugh-out-loud and heartfelt, interactive and caring. A show about family breakups, learning car maintenance and choosing the right shade of lipstick to do it in.

workshops
I have facilitated projects in teaching stage writing, poetry and performance for various schools and universities. I love sharing skills, particularly with young people, and approach workshops as opportunities for facilitated co-creation creation with participants.
Poetry
I have performed at poetry venues around the UK, including The Nottingham Playhouse, Northern Stage, and the Olympic Park, and was a member of poetry collective The Mouthy Poets from 2011-2014. I was selected as one of BBC Three’s Verb New Voices in 2014.
Theatre
I have co-created three shows with Peader Kirk: Sticking, Fitting, and Fixing. I have also directed solo work with various solo practitioners.
