LÈSE MAJESTÉ, the spectacular Drag King & Thing cabaret, is back for a night of soul-filling, mind-bending, body-shaking QUEER MAJESTY!
We're back on FRIDAY 7th July at the legendary Bethnal Green Working Mens’ Club- doors open at 8PM. Then after the show, we'll be dancing till 2AM!
We operate a strict NO DRESS CODE policy – wear whatever the fuck makes you feel majestic.
Hosted by Spanish hunk Prinx Silver - with an all trans/non-binary line up:
Lusty Lovelace
Romeo De La Cruz
Mr Later Mater
Archi
Plus after-party with DJs Harietta & Trojan-Tyne, to keep you dancing all the way to 2am!
Some feedback from previous guests:
"The attention to detail on accessibility is top notch. Normally I'm accustomed to being challenged and having to advocate for my access needs, so it's a rare thing when that's not the case!"
"My queer battery has been recharged!"
"I left feeling safe, loved and empowered"
