THE CAMPEST NIGHT OF THE YEAR IS HERE
The Enby Show are super proud to present a competition unlike any other… a night of ceremony, campery and drama... Our very own EnbyVision Song Contest
We're all boycotting Eurovision this year as they have decided to allow Israel to enter, for more info on why boycotting is essential please read this article.
Fear not, Eurovision fans, you will not be deprived of the ridiculousness, pageantry and overcomplicated voting system that makes up our fave europop contest! Come on down to our very own EnbyVision Song Contest where we will be raising money for the Strike Fund run by Ravers for Palestine, which has recently opened up to supporting artists and cultural workers boycotting work due to dirty sponsorship. We'll be splitting the funds raised between the Strike Fund and Medical Aid for Palestinians.*
Watch as the trans+ icons of London's cabaret scene take the stage at the iconic Royal Vauxhall Tavern to represent a place, concept or thing of their choice in the hopes of winning votes. With guest performances, our hosts and judges (the enbies-in-residence Carrot, Flick, Cyro and Bard The Beholder) will guide us on this journey to crown the first EVER EnbyVision Song Contest superstar!
Callout looking for acts is open NOW; we'll be announcing the full cast and what they are representing mid-April for your consideration. YOU, the audience, will have the deciding vote on the night.
Book now, you really don't wanna miss this.
DRESS CODE: Dress to impress! Wear something to represent your fave act on the lineup… placards, flags and signs showing your support for your fave performer also welcome.
(* funds may also be subsequently diverted to other organisations who can support Palestinians; the situation is ongoing and fast-moving, and we want to make sure the money goes where it can directly help those affected best.)

ABOUT THE ENBY SHOW
As recommended by TimeOut London… The Enby Show is a chaotic all-non-binary performance collective bringing together the creme-de-la-thems of cabaret, creating variety shows popping with trans & non-binary finery in solo and group spectaculars. They've performed up and down the country on stages big and small; from national Prides to basement bars, from West End stages to karaoke venues, they've graced all kinds of spaces with their enby excellence. Expect the unexpected and f*ck the cis-tem.

TICKETS
Standard entry tickets may be standing tickets. There will be limited seats available, if you require a seat but cannot pay for a VIP ticket, see access info below. Aside from that, get there as soon as doors open to secure a seat!
VIP tickets include a seat with the best view of the stage. The extra cost of the VIP tickets helps to subsidise NOTAFLOF (not turned away from lack of funds) tickets so please do consider purchasing a VIP ticket if you are able.
Concession pricing is for anyone who believes they need to pay less, for example students, those on low income, or those accessing benefits. There are also limited ‘pay what you can’ tickets - these are reserved specifically for those who a financial barrier would prevent attending the show. (Note: if you are struggling to a afford a ticket at all, see NOTAFLOF info in access section below for more info)
Pay-it-forward tickets are for people who cannot actually attend, but would love to support the show/the work we do at The Enby Show by buying a ticket anyway. This will also help subsidise free tickets for those who cannot afford to pay.
Limited tickets will be available on the door for £15, payments accepted by cash or card. Book in advance for cheaper tickets!

Doors open: 7pm

ACCESS INFO
Royal Vauxhall Tavern has gender neutral toilets, air conditioning and has no steps to get into the venue - however the toilets are not wheelchair accessible. This show will contain loud music and where possible we'll have a rigger warning if there are any flashing lights. We have earplugs available for those who experience noise sensitivity - please just ask a member of the team on the door if you'd like to make use of these. Seating may be limited at this event, first come first served. Free +1 tickets are available for carers. If you require this, you'd like to reserve a seat, or if you have any other questions regarding accessibility please email theenbyshow@gmail.com.
There will be a ‘Care Bear’ in attendance at this event, so if you are thinking of going alone and want someone to chat to, or even just stand silently next to - find the person pointed out at the start of the show! They are also there to help resolve any problems in the space - whether that's someone acting inappropriately, any issue with the show or venue, or if you find something triggering/need to talk something through, they are there to help you handle the situation with tact and care.
This show is running a NOTAFLOF (not turned away from lack of funds) scheme. If you want to attend this event but are struggling to pay, please email theenbyshow@gmail.com with the subject line 'NOTAFLOF' and we will sort something for you - no questions asked or explanations needed.
