Want to do drag? Don't know where to start? Is it all a bit intimidating?
Sappho Events are putting on a brand new open mic drag night for everyone: from the total newbies who just want to try a moustache on to the those with a few gigs under their belt looking to develop a new act.
Sappho are building a space to nurture those brave enough to step onto stage and explore drag in whatever form: kings, things, creatures, queens, characters... anything that tickles your pickle, babe. We're here to support you.
Hosted by seasoned kings and mentors Len Blanco and Cyro.
This is a welcoming space for performers, their friends, and the whole queer community, and we encourage you to come dressed in drag if you would like.
The first event will be:
When: Tuesday 7 December 2021, doors open at 6:30pm, show starts at 8pm.
Where: Grow in London's Hackney Wick (Main Yard, 98C Wallis Rd, London E9 5LN)
Price: £10, with £2 of each ticket going to the Kaleidoscope Trust charity, which protects the rights of LGBTQIA+ people to live freely without fear around the world. You get a strip of raffle tickets with each ticket too!
Entry requirement: In order to protect our community, we require proof of a double dose of COVID vaccination or a negative lateral flow test for entry.
