THE IMMIGRANTS OF EAST LONDON ARE BACK FOR OUR FINAL EDITION BEFORE WE TAKE A SUMMER BREAK.
After two sold out incredible volumes, we're here to reak havoc once again in our favourite basement - platforming the finest of what the cabaret scene has to offer. Immigrant led, Immigrant dominated.
The Immigrants of East London serves as a reminder that Immigrants make up an integral part of our community.
We serve you at the bar.
We work your security.
We are your ENTERTAINMENT!
With Nigel Farage and his Reform goons fear-mongering already exploited people into thinking Immigrants are the problem, the rise in facism in the UK calls for us to unite and uplift those around us more marginalised in the ways we know how - THROUGH A SHOW DIVA!!
Join us as we platform some of East London's finest talent - all products of immigration, be it first or second gen, and take back our streets. There is no room for Facism in East London! Let's ride!
Lets make it clear where East London stands.
ACCESS:
Sadly, The Divine is currently not fully accessible.
The cabaret and club space are in the basement of the venue. There are 17 wide steps with slipresistant treads down to the space with sturdy handrails either side.
The upstairs of The Divine does have a newly installed Acessible toilet. The show, however, will be downstairs.
If you need further information, please refer to The Divine ‘About’ page on the website. www.thedivine.co.uk
Whilst our goal is to move to a space that is fully accessible, these spaces charge hire fees and have minimum bar spends that are less accessible to those who come from systemically marginalised demographics. Before being able to commit to these spaces and gamble breaking even, we need to see if an event like ours will get an audience through the door in the first place. We need to see if we can break even without these extra costs first. Only once we can confirm our audience, regulars, and get feelers out for our show, we as marginalised Artists will be able to afford to move to venues that charge us for the space. We are deeply grateful to The Divine, and we look forward to supporting them as a Queer venue and home to so many.
Please come on down and support what we are trying to do here, so we know in future that we can take risks and sacrifice from our own pockets without losing money in our quest to move to an accessible space.
