Glasgow‑born mischief‑maker, punk sketch artist, drag performer, and poet. Loud, raw, and defiantly original.
Derek MCluckie brings a bold fusion of drag performance, punk sketch artistry, Glasgow poetry, and gritty city spirit to life. His work is loud, LGBT, and defiantly creative, the kind of expression that challenges, captivates, and refuses to sit quietly. Derek moves between character comedy, jagged DIY art, and sharp, street‑soaked poetry with ease, building a world where drag meets punk, humour meets honesty, and Glasgow’s heartbeat runs through every line, every look, and every word.
On stage, Derek’s drag is sharp, chaotic, and full of personality, shaped by the city’s humour and edge. Off stage, his sketches carry the same pulse: expressive, gritty, and unmistakably his. And in his poetry, Derek channels the same instinct and attitude, raw language, bold imagery, and a voice carved straight from Glasgow’s streets.
Whether he’s performing, drawing, or writing, Derek’s work is driven by instinct, attitude, and a fierce commitment to being unapologetically himself.
Dive into a world where character comedy meets raw, DIY art, where poetry bites back, and where Glasgow’s punk spirit never stops showing its teeth.
