Daisy Puller’s Annual World AIDS Day Cabaret is back for its third year, bigger and better than ever! Raising funds and awareness for peer-support charity Positively UK, this evening of Drag, Cabaret and Burlesque promises to be educational, emotional and VERY entertaining.
A volunteer peer-mentor for Positively UK and one of Fast Track Cities ‘HIV Confident’ Ambassadors, there are few Queens that are better qualified than Daisy Puller to head-up this spectacular night. You will learn, you will laugh, you will cry. The hostess of Love Potion No.9, Daisy, will be joined by a stellar line-up of iconic drag queens and kings, cabaret and burlesque stars from the London scene, all set to raise the roof – and those all-important funds to help Positively UK do its vital work.
Held in the stunning ballroom at Neon194 Piccadilly, this glamorous evening will give a chance for members of the HIV positive community, and their allies, to come together to commemorate those we have lost, to celebrate how far we have come, and to remind ourselves of how far we have to go to end HIV transmissions and stigma in the UK.
The ballroom has a fully stocked bar and will be serving world-class cocktails throughout the night, and guests are encouraged to pre-book tables upstairs to enjoy the food and hospitality before the show. (please contact Neon194 directly for dinner reservations)
There will be even more ways to show your support for the cause on the night, with volunteers with collection buckets taking cash and card donations. Also, for the first time, Positively UK have teamed up with queer nightlife photography icon KAREN STANLEY to design an exclusive t-shirt or tote bag to promote the cause. On high quality cotton, the vibrant digitally-printed design reflects the diversity of the HIV+ community, as well as Positively UK’s mission to empower all people living with HIV to be their best, brightest and down-right sexiest selves. Allies can wear the t-shirt or carry the tote bag as a conversation starter too. When it comes to HIV Stigma and education, Don’t Keep Quiet! (If you select our ticket-and-a-t-shirt or ticket-and-a-tote bag combo below, your new tee or tote bag will be available to collect on the night at the venue)
Ticket donations (pay-it-forward tickets): If you are unable to attend the event, but wish to show your support, why not purchase a pay-it-forward ticket which will be donated to low-income service users so that they can enjoy the evening too, and see themselves represented on the stage by a loud and lairy blonde bombshell from Down Under!
