About our Performers:
Gender Criminal is Father of Bristol's T4T drag collective House of Boussé. Scoundrel of the South West, he is a hyper-pop aerial faerie Prinx who always wanted to run away to the circus... UNTIL HE BECAME ONE. He'll take you on a surreal serenade through the randy rambunctious rumblings of gender, queer culture and transdimensional body politic. Though you'll never know what may be coming, you can guarantee there will be a donk on
Xanthe is Bristol’s superstar drag artist. The winner of Drag Idol Bristol and Mx Wig, Xanthe is known for their political performances surrounding themes such as trans rights.
Felix Feelin’ is on his way to shake things up! Created by the fabulous seasoned drag artist Kitten, Felix is Kittens drag king alter ego and he’s ready to make his debut this October with Divergence!
Cuppa Hubba is a flaunt of ever growing effervescent charm, here to embrace self- acceptance with fantastical arms. Their performance style is a playful dive into surreal worlds with some juicy burlesque shimmied in. Look no further for the bubbling of mystical gender fuckery, sassy spontaneity & a whole lotta HUBBA!
Hysteria Shox is an up-and-coming drag performer and live vocalist based in Bristol. Hysteria will be filling us in on her journey into drag, her experiences as part of Bristol's queer scene, how living with a disability has changed her approach to performing.
Part clown, all fool, Eric the Drag Thing has been described as occasionally endearing, sporadically sexy and positively absurd. Through his blend of drag, performance art, and tomfoolery, Eric examines his place in a world where he doesn't quite seem to
DJs:
The Yard Woman is a Greek-born, Bristol-based DJ and producer at the forefront of UK dance music. Her sound is a balancing act between House & Techno brimming with a signature intensity inspired by dance floor moments.
Molly Mogul is a queer Bristol-based emerging music artist. Originally from Germany, she’s influenced by her experience abroad and her German background. When DJing she creates multigenre sets influenced by the German Techno scene including influences from Techno, Ghettotech, Footwork, Tech House and Breakbeat.
