Holly Stars is a stand-up comedian, comedy writer, cabaret host, author, and one of the UK’s hottest drag talents.
She is the writer and star of the hit West End show Death Drop, which was a huge hit with three West End runs and a sold out UK Tour. She is also the star and co-creator of the Amazon Prime series Holly Stars: Inspirational.
Described by Attitude Magazine as a “spitfire of a host”, Holly Stars also produces and presents a monthly Soho cabaret, ‘Time of the Month’, which showcases the finest of the UK’s comedy cabaret scene.

Holly is also the bestselling author of two drag-themed crime novels:
– Murder in the Dressing Room (2025)
– Missing in Soho (2026)
Holly is the co-host of the Read to Death podcast alongside fellow drag artist Quiches Lorraine. Books reviewed include Do No Harm by Jack Jordan, Death and Croissants by Ian Moore, The Vanishing of Margaret Small by Neil Alexander, The Paris Apartment by Lucy Foley, and The Maid series by Nita Prose.
She is a popular voiceover artist, recording the audiobooks of her own books, bringing a narration that “is spirited, witty, and a true auditory delight”. She has also leant her voice to adverts for Delicious Doughnuts and the documentary Exploring Paris, as well as a number of other audiobooks.

Holly is brilliantly outrageous in all the best and beautiful ways. I’ve been hosting author events for years and working with Holly is a true highlight. Her warmth, humour and love of Party Rings is infectious. I know there is so much more to come from her and I can’t wait to see it.

Holly Stars spoke brilliantly about ‘Murder in the Dressing Room’ at our Queer Lit Quarterly in October. Her unique presence brought an extra level of humour and entertainment to the evening. In the latter part of the evening Holly’s participation in the discussion with the other authors and audience was thought-provoking and pertinent in the current climate for the wider LGBTQIA+ community.
