This week’s Scene News: Drag Graduation at RVT, Pride in London theme announced

Drag Graduation at the RVT

For the past ten weeks the brilliant Michael Twaits has been hosting the Art of Drag course at the Royal Vauxhall Tavern and this Wednesday (29 Mar) you can see the results for yourself. The one-off Graduation Showcase will feature 12 new drag acts and what they’ve achieved following weeks of hard work. Michael told us “We’ve got 12 amazing acts showing the full diversity of what drag can be: kings, queens, gender-fuck, even a drag dog. Plus poetry, lip-sync, comedy, singing and more. They’ve been working for ten weeks with some top talent such as Meth, Myra DuBois, Lolo Brow, Joe Black, Cosmic and myself. They’ve been pulled in every direction and have now created their own acts, which they’ll be debuting at the RVT”. Advance tickets are available from eventbrite.co.uk.
