Sell out warning! Our fave Romanian twin queer allies at Trinity? Are we dreaming? It’s a cheeky holiday!! The noughties pop icons headline this full-blown Pride takeover – alongside live cabaret from trailblazing drag king Prix Chiyo, serpentine sorceress Mama Mamba, and bearlesque diva Deeva D + Liam Parsons bringing hi-nrg club-pop euphoria on the decks. The Queer As F*ck crew really pulling out all the stops here! QUEER AS F*CK: Pride Afterparty at The Trinity Centre.

Sell out warning! Back for a blockbuster fourth year running: boundary-defying drag-theatre from queer performance art collective House of Boussé! Part visceral reclamation narrative against hateful media rhetoric, part self-proclaimed “trannified version of The Magic School Bus”, Trans/Form is an embodied journey into the beauty and power of trans+ experiences. TRANS/FORM at Strange Brew.

Jack Parlett issues an apologia for the ostentatious in a new work launching at Bookhaus. Through both personal and cultural reflections, sweeping across art, nature, pop and politics, he argues for a reappraisal of peacocking’s revolutionary power – unpacked in scintillating conversation with performance artist and queer history archivist Tom Marshman. Flamboyance: The Art of Burning Brightly launch with Jack Parlett at Bookhaus.

Free entry! Killer ravens, phantoms in the opera, hallucinatory visuals, Brian Eno on the buttons – with Opera, Argento done fully out-Argento-ed himself, scoring arguably his last true masterpiece (sorry Dracula 3D). Pure widescreen terror with buckets of giallo trash/class that’ll put you off the theatre for life… Opera at The Ill Repute.
