A long time ago (May 4th 2025) in a galaxy far far away (*The Clapham Grand)...
MAY THE FOURTH BE WITH YOU! The Galactic Cabaret
Join us on Sunday May 4th for a night of interstellar drag and cabaret, inspired by all things STAR WARS.
Whether you’re a Jedi Knight or a Sith Lord, smuggler or princess or scruffy Nerf-herder, we've got lightyears of entertainment waiting in the X-wings, brought to you by some of the finest cabaret legends in the quadrant.
The force will be strong, and also fabulously queer. Because the Empire might be even more evil than ever before right now, but we’re here to lead the Resistance and save the day! And that's a First Order!!
All are welcome - from bounty hunters to droids, clones to gangsters, and especially super-sexy Wookiees. Raise your lightsabers and ready your blasters, we *are* the droids you're looking for.
On our adventures we’ll travel from Tatooine to Coruscant, Endor to Mustafar, maybe even reaching the uncharted Outer Rims… whatever happens, we're here to put the c*nt into the Mos Eisley C*ntina.
So, rebel scum on down! It's a celebration that's gunna be out of this world...
Brought to you by the producers of THE GALLIFREY CABARET, so yes we know our way around a long-running sci-fi franchise xo
(Full lineup to be announced soon, keep your jed-eyes on @carrotdrag & @reece_connolly_ on Insta / @connolly_reece on Bluesky & Twitter)
The Grand is open late and with our cosmic DJ on the holo-decks we’ll be keeping the saga going. Plus, it’s a Bank Holiday, so no excuse not to stay for a space-boogie ;)
