- Anjelica (@anjel_ica)

- Cherub Fitzgerald (@cherubfitzgerald)
Cherub Fitzgerald is a burlesque artist who graduated from the 2024 season of the Black Burlesque School. Her performances are a remix of Y2K throwback meets afro-futurist dreaming. Diverging from her cherry lip smacker and velour tracky roots, Cherub will be performing a newer, darker act with a surprise guest… - Curly (@curly_curly_curly_)
Curly is a drag artist and musical comedian known for their silly songs, theatrical parodies and as 'the one who pretends to be a sim sometimes'. She has performed in cabaret shows all over London, been robbed of prizes in several drag competitions, and has just returned from doing her solo show 'C U Later, Simulator' at Edinburgh Fringe. - Maz Murray (@maz_murray)
Maz Murray is an artist working across film, writing, collage and installation. Murray uses satire, surrealism and melodrama to talk about queer and trans identity, class, and the complexities of public life. They subvert pop cultural forms such as music videos, TV documentaries, talk shows, social media content and cinema, using DIY techniques. They’re interested in the creation of artificial landscapes and the struggles that shape them. - Munesu Mukombe (@munesumukombe)
Munesu Mukombe is a London-based multidisciplinary artist working across writing, performance and moving image. Her autobiographical work creates intimate, vulnerable spaces for both herself and her audience, offering frameworks to explore abstract emotions around grief, racial oppression, interpersonal relationships and self-actualisation. In collaboration with artist Tawfik Naas, she coined the term “Environment Making” – a concept that situates art making in a space between world-building and lived reality. - Bri Leung (@missbrileung)
Bri Leung is an interdisciplinary artist whose practice interrogates the discomforting truths and conflicts in diasporic and gendered histories. Her practice explores reclamation across performance, writing, film, sculpture, dramaturgy and facilitation. She is influenced by art history, popular culture and interpersonal relationships. She has performed and exhibited at Pleasance Theatre, Hoxton Hall, Greatorex Street, Somerset House and The Yard Theatre. - And a special performance by Smashing Time's very own Kurtis Lincoln!
