Our event features fabulous performers, music and space to cut a rug, as they say!
We will have a photo backdrop where you can have your portrait taken in true period fashion, with our vintage Twin Lens Reflex camera, portraits are free to sit, though you will need to speak to our photographer. Prints will cost extra, print prices TBC.
Performers:
Kit Kelly
COUNT GAYLORD, HOTEL MANAGER and FUNNYMAN, INVITES YOU TO HIS PRIVATE CHAMBERS ...FOR SOME ENTERTAINMENT ;-) A transatlantic 1920s vampire runs his booming speakeasy and is always hungry for guests!
Dandy Darling
The certified king of conceptual camp and a fantastical fever dream guy. His drag is surreal, sultry, silly and always comes from the heart. His signature performance style has taken him across the UK, internationally and to the finals of three of the country’s biggest drag competitions.
Liubov Fisher
is an actor, singer, drag artist and clown. After training at Italia Conti Academy of Theatre Arts, she found herself on the drag & cabaret scene in London. Last year, she was the inaugural winner of the ‘K Factor’, a live vocals drag competition, and she also made it to the final of the ‘Lipsync1000’ drag competition. Some might know her by the name of ‘Sticky Suzie’, her clown persona was once described by a fellow performer as “Mia Goth on hallucinogens”. Tonight, she will be singing a song or two for you all. Follow her on IG: @liubovdoesdrag.
