Hello, beautiful humans…
The BOis are back and it's the big one … the BOiBOX BOiRTHDAY BONANZA! And we're celebrating 10 years, yes A DECADE OF DRAG KINGS! And to mark the occasion we are serving a buffet of legendary proportions!
10 years ago, BOiBOX began on a shoestring in a Soho basement…and here we are in London's glittering West end! Hey, we've survived the gentrification of Soho and a global pandemic and high-kicked down more dastardly draggy doors of misogyny than we can count, with jazz hands! With the dedication of our team and the talent of our incredible scene, BOiBOX has grown to become an internationally renowned jewel of the global Drag King world, the birth place of Drag King legends and the cornerstone of the UK Drag King Scene. What started with a handful of Kings is now bulging with brilliant talent. They said Drag Kings couldn't…well look at them DO!
King-size your cabaret experience and join us as we celebrate with a bumper bash of a show…
Hosted by dynamite Drag duo, legendaddy Drag King Daddy Adam All & icon of the West ends toilets, Apple Derrieres!
