Students in Lancashire can now do a course with the title: drag kings and drag queens of performance.

The module, being offered to students at Edge Hill University, will be part of the performing arts, dance and drama degree from January 2016.

It will be the first of its kind in the UK.

Those who sign up will study drag performance, costume, lip-syncing and the use of humour.

The module will also include gay and lesbian theatre and theory around transgender identities and activism.

Senior Lecturer Mark Edward came up with the idea.

"This module not only explores drag as a highly camp performance art, it also engages with complex gender, feminist and queer theory to explore the social and political implication of 'doing gender' in performance," Mark said.

"Drag as a performance art form has seen a relative decline in the past decade, yet there are new and exciting emerging forms coming through which makes this module all the more relevant to performance contexts.

"There's a lot more to drag studies than wigs, make-up and high heels!"

Mark Edward is best known as the writer and producer of Council House Movie Star, in which he adopts the persona Gale Force.

His current research focuses on ageing performers and drag queens and equality for boys and men in the world of dance.
