ACCESS FUND
From July 1, our access costs are no longer being covered by funding from Creative Scotland. Having a BSL interpreter and Access Angel at this show is only possible with funds raised from raffle ticket sales at our previous shows and we would LOVE to be able to continue to have this level of accessibility at future shows.
Here are 3 ways you can help us do that:
For this anniversary show, you have a chance to win some EXTRA SPECIAL RAFFLE PRIZES sponsored by some of our favourite queer businesses and creatives so make sure you don’t miss out! With over £300 worth of prizes to be won, all money generated from the RAFFLE will go to our Access Fund to exclusively cover accessibility related costs at our events.
Special thanks to our generous prize sponsors:

Raffle tickets will be purchasable on show night. If you cannot make the show but want to participate in the raffle, buy VIRTUAL RAFFLE TICKETS here.
You can also opt to support our Access Fund by making an ACCESS FUND DONATION when you buy a ticket (or if you cannot make the show).
OR … buy yourself a decorative FAN OF ACCESSIBILITY* at the Merch stand on the night as all revenue from sales of fans goes to the Access Fund, too.
*these one of a kind Fans Of Accessibility are made by Fife's most glitter-covered drag king, Jender.
