Our recent recommendations for The Old Market Assembly

Sell out warning! No one serves a raucous contortion and saucy drag cocktail quite like QUEER AS F*CK. They’re mixing a bumper NYE batch with sassy fireworks from local dramaturgic icon Tom Marshmann, lactose-loving milkman drag from the Dairy King + RED and RuPaul’s own Ginger Spice, Just May, leading the hi-NRG DJ charge. QAF sends out the year in the campest way possible at Bristol's hottest cabaret club-night.

Sell out warning! Queer AF acrobatic burlesque action packed with pure sass and sizzle. Grounded Circus dial up the collective heat with our current Drag Race obsession (Tayris Mongardi), the timeless soul of your songstress host Sadie Sinner, retro rollerskating gymnastics from Peachy Skater, RED leading the late night DJ charge + much much more! We're summoning a lineup of ghouls, expect the most star-studded coven of circus, drag, and burlesque icons.

Sell out warning! Queer AF acrobatic burlesque action packed with pure sass and sizzle. Grounded Circus dial up the collective heat with Brighton’s macabre cabaret icon Joe Black, boylesque aerialist extraordinaire Danny Ash, lactose-loving milkman / cow drag surrealism from the Dairy King + RED leading the late night DJ charge! Circus, drag, and burlesque come together in this unforgettable one-off lineup. Part cabaret, part club-night, all camp.

Sell out warning! Queer AF acrobatic burlesque action packed with pure sass and sizzle. Grounded Circus dial up the collective heat with Geordie star power from Drag Race UK runner up Michael Marouli, parody pop host Essex Lad Brent Would, dizzying hoop-work from Natasha Moonshine + RED leading the late night DJ charge! The iconic cabaret club-night returns with a star studded lineup of circus, drag, and DJs.

Gleefully chaotic and camp queer excellence for a very pertinent cause! Two of Bristol’s performance powerhouses join forces to bring a stacked evening of cabaret, drag, spoken word, comedy, circus prowess and much more from a whole host of local stars - all raising funds for NOT A PHASE’s vital work uplifting trans+ lives. SCRiTCH Cabaret and EDOLL Events team up to bring you a fundraiser for NOT A PHASE!
