ABOUT BOULANGERIE
After launching in March, Wanda Cookie's BOULANGERIE: A Queer Variety Show has brought sold out nights over four editions to VFD, The Chateau, and now SET Dalston!
Much like an assortment of sweet treats found at your local bakery, BOULANGERIE celebrates the inspired diversity of drag, gender expression, and artistry found in London’s vibrant queer communities. More expression, more occupation, more safe spaces, more art! The priority is giving performers a safe space to try out whatever they like.
Here at BOULANGERIE, we "might describe themselves as ‘sweet treats’ but it’s actually an inclusive evening of unpredictable queer performance." - Julia Says, QX Magazine.
OPEN MIC SLOTS
There will also be a number of open mic slots available to showcase queer talent outside of our core line-up. If you are a queer artist of any sort (drag not compulsory) and looking to try out something new, please submit an act proposal and little bit about yourself to wandacookiedrag@gmail.com. This can be spoken word, live singing, reading of written work, or anything that might be presentable onstage. If you are a writer, you may even bring in someone else to read your work. Priority will be given to non-binary, trans, QPOC, drag kings, AFAB artists, and/or those with limited stage experience.

ABOUT FAMILY SPECIAL
Buckle up, sweeties, because after we're done getting a wholesome offering of culture and queer artistry, we're gonna be getting our dancin' pants on (or off?) for the debut of FAMILY SPECIAL!
We're mixing the old and the new with some delicious disco, alluring alt pop, raucous remixes, and most importantly, good vibes and a safe, inclusive space for you to come out, look/feel fab, have a boogie, and be your beautiful selves.
Dress up, dress down, plan a lewk, come in gender non-specific clothing, come in make-up, we don't really care, we just hope you come.
Prepare for a night of non-stop dance hits provided by DJ: JEANOCIDE (Inferno, Berlin Berlin, Nice Mover).
PLUS, expect pop-up queer performances throughout the evening!
