When dressing as a woman became a chore for Jason Wood he decided it was time for a change of scene.

His alter ego Cher Travestie will be taking her final bow at a charity event at Revenge tomorrow night, having entertained Brighton audiences for 12 years.

It's a fitting venue as Jason started his camp act after moving to the city aged 18.

Now living in London with a sitcom optioned by the BBC, Jason has swapped sequinned frocks in smokey pubs for stand-up in theatres.

At the very least he is proving life in comedy is never really a drag.
