Occasionally we get an enquiry that really reminds us that all the work to keep this going is worth it.

Keep taking up space in the most joyful ways qu**rs - because we need to remind each other that we deserve to be happy!

It’s always awful to hear when someone is taken too soon. It hits harder when it’s one of our own community. Rest in power The Vivienne. 🪔

claims this was one of the best groups she’s had yet! Loads of energy and really got into that dancing and the games. Many star stickers won, apparently! They look fun don’t they?

We got sent this pic of these absolutely royalty who we booked for a 1500 person corporate event the other week. Apparently they had to turn people away at the door because everyone wanted to be in the room! Can you blame them with this stunning line up?!

There are some concerning comments on this article about the Drag Tales that Tania LeCoq will be doing in Harlow on 27th July. If you have children and happen to be in the area, we're really appreciate it if you could go along and support Tania just in case there are any TERFy protestors about.

AS PART of the celebration of Pride, The Harvey Centre will be hosting a FREE fun filled family event day on Saturday 27th July!

took this gorgeous family out down Southbank today on the Going Down South tour. absolutely slayed the mincing, the dance-together AND the runway. Her dad at the end said that dancing in the street was quite outside his comfort zone, but honestly you wouldn’t believe it the way he worked our little makeshift runway outside the Globe.

It’s so rewarding to take people on a tour who really love visiting our city, telling them some of its absurd (and sometimes dark) history and to be able to talk about the history of drag - and give them a little taste of what it’s like to be fabulous on these grey streets! All eyes on us.

Facing reactions of those not expecting to see a drag queen prancing down Southbank blaring tunes from a little trolley is a joyous frontier of creating space for us weirdos in our society - and such a fun way to do it!

Maneeta had such a good time with these lovely folk!

We wish we could spend every weekend having a tour of London by a Drag Queen! 😍

Alongside some of our wonderful participants, we visited London earlier this year on an Appetite Takeaway which included a visit to Q***r Britain, Gay's The Word and a fabulous tour of place important to LGBTQ+ history by Dragged Around London!

Image description: A Drag Queen is walking towards the camera. They are holding their right arm in the air, their left hand is holding a phone. They are wearing a stripe top, sequinned jacket and large circular earrings in the colour of the pride flag. They have a beard which is purple and green, and are wearing purple and yellow eyeshadow. Their hair is also multicoloured. Behind them is a large ground of people following, one of which is following behind wearing the Pride colours. They are outdoors.

While this doesn’t involve any of our performers we think fans of drag in general might be interested in this film AVANT-DRAG! at the next .

The film offers an exhilarating and intimate look at the lives of ten Athenian drag performers who deconstruct gender, nationalism, belonging, identity, transphobia and racism. As entertaining as it is thought-provoking, the film challenges societal norms and reshapes perceptions about LGBTQ+ culture, proving that being othered never felt so familiar.

It’s been nominated for the Best Documentary Feature Award and its screening at the Curzon Soho on 27th June at 9pm.
