LÈSE MAJESTÉ, the Spectacular Drag King & Things Cabaret, is being released from lockdown (hopefully) and we are BACK!
Join us for a night of soul-filling, mind-bending, body-shaking QUEER MAJESTY! Brought to you by Friends of the Joiners Arms, Lèse Majesté has us partying on the road until we have our permanent home.
On Thursday the 25th of November we’ll be taking over the legendary venue, Bethnal Green Working Mens’ Club, with a show to celebrate and centre queer women, trans, non-binary people, and to platform Black & POC queer/trans performers & DJs.
We operate a strict NO DRESS CODE policy – wear whatever the fuck makes you feel majestic. Oh and it’s also technically our third birthday (or second if we’re all agreeing to discount last year) so feel free to come in your best birthday attire.

JOINERS ANGELS - Angels help to maintain the safer space policy (see below), they are party goers who act as big siblings to other guests making sure you feel safe and comfortable as you rave. Joiners Angels will be at the party all night if you need a helping hand, a hug, a chat or have an incident that needs to be dealt with.
*** Read and respect the SAFER SPACE policy before attending:
The safer space policy is about creating an open and welcoming environment so that everyone in the LGBTQIA+ community and allies feel able and comfortable to participate in FOTJA activities. In order to help us do this, we have some guidelines:
Zero tolerance to racism, sexism, homophobia, transphobia, xenophobia, ableism, ageism, fat phobia, body shaming or slut shaming.
Zero tolerance to prejudice based on class, faith/religion, language ability, gender presentation, physical ability, learning difficulty or mental health.
Zero tolerance to harassment of any kind, including and not limited to; non-consensual touching, following, leering/ogling, and persisting in a conversation or making non-verbal gestures when the other person has expressed that they don’t want to speak to you.
Respect other people’s personal space, do not touch anyone unless you have express consent to do so.
Do not assume anyone’s gender, if in doubt ask or use gender neutral pronouns until specified otherwise.
Friends of the Joiners Arms understands that this policy is and should be dynamic and change as we learn and grow together.
Friends of the Joiners Arms also understands that we are all problematic and we all make mistakes. If you are called out do not become defensive, instead take the opportunity to reflect and learn. ***
