Welcome back to GOD SAVE THE KINGS!
We're back, gone digital and still found a way to bring you amazing drag king talent from across the UK. Join us for a night of lipsync, comedy, protests, cabaret and even a wiggle worm or two as we show off some of the best the UK drag king and drag performers.
This month last month, “she who shall not be named” has made openly transphobic views points into mass media as well as releasing a new book which continues to spread hate towards our Trans siblings. In response to this, Septembers GSTKs is a dedicated trans fundraiser special, with 50% of the profits made from this show will be going back to the performers, with the other 50% going towards GENDERED INTELLIGENCE. For more information about the work they do please visit : http://genderedintelligence.co.uk/
Your cast for this show includes:
Mr Saint Sinister (London), BoBo The Drag Thing (Southampton), Slick O' (Dublin), Dez Scrace (Cork), Sammy Silver (Brighton), Effy Raine (Birmingham), Willie Doit (Bristol), Eli Buck (Edinburgh), Dorian T. Fisk (Glasgow) and Lusty Lovelace (London) with your host for this evening being Mr. Dandy Issues (Bournemouth/Gloucester)
Also, thank you for your ongoing support with not only keeping digital drag alive but also with supporting the UK drag king scene. This show was born from wanting to share the incredibly talented UK drag king scene which wouldn’t of been possible before lockdown. Whilst bars might be opening back up, there’s still a bit of time before fully back to normal there’s still a little bit of time left before I sign off GSTKs for the year so lets keep on showing off both kings and performers before the year is out!
How it works:
Once you have purchased paid for your ticket you will be provided with a link that will take you to a private YouTube video. You will be able to view the show at your free will until the 10th of October when the video will be taken down ready for the next show to be put up. Show is pre-recorded so you will be watch it at any point until then along with as much as you want. If you have enjoyed the show it is highly encouraged you follow and tip each of the individual performers, which tipping links will be upright hand corner during their set. You can also tip the show at ko-fi.com/godsavethekings.
IMPORTANT!!
Please do not share the link for this show, download it and distribute it privately. The profits from this show will be split evenly towards paying the performers as well as donating a portion to charity. Whilst we understand that this is being asked at face values, it really is important that all performers get the pay that they deserved in this time of uncertainty. Whilst bars might be slowly reopening, there are still many venues not open meaning that many are still out of work. On top of this, there are also many performers who are still affected by the ongoing covid 19 situation, meaning we want to ensure that everyone who is part of this show is still being paid a fair wage.
Accessibility
For this video subtitles are implemented. Unfortunately, as I am currently away from my recording set up, for this show we do not have audio descriptive in place. As an alternative we do have visual descriptive included within the programme, along with a full list of content and flash warnings, which will be released a day after this video has gone live.
