A event on Saturday 17th August. The event starts at 14:00.
STEP RIGHT UP NOW WANNABE KINGS! Bristol's premier queer punk drag king cabaret night Brizzle Boyz is bringing you a long awaited and much requested drag king crash course! Come join us in celebrating all things cabaret, queer, and CAMP!*
This series of bespoke workshops have been carefully crafted to give you all you need to go from car radio crooner to cabaret cassanova in just five fun packed weeks! We will be focusing on makeup and looks, physicality, lipsync, and most importantly - how to craft a performance fit for a king! Following your four weeks of once-a-week workshops and practice you will be invited to perform at a graduation showcase at the beautiful Old Market Assembly.
In order to give everyone the full amount of attention we feel is necessary for our fledgling kings to flourish, we are limiting spaces to eight people.
*No actual camping involved, we're not monsters.
