Two Bristol queer events powerhouses are joining forces for a very special birthday
Posted on: 05 Apr 2024At the beginning of next month, Friday 3 May, Strange Brew will play host to the special seventh birthday celebrations of Brizzle Boys, who are joining force with QUAVERZ.
Brizzle Boys are an icon of the Bristolian drag community – billed as “The South West's premier queer punk drag king cabaret night”, Brizzle Boys is one of the largest king nights in the UK, and has done a lot to further the image and standing of drag kings in a community that can, unfortunately, not always be kind to them.
Brizzle Boys performances are always an enthralling variety act – with performances ranging from dance, to clowning, lipsync, magic and who knows what else. As mentioned, Brizzle Boys do a lot to help grow and promote the community as well – typically hosting two dedicated newcomer slots alongside the established drag talent.
Now, Brizzle Boys are celebrating a magical milestone – their 7th birthday. With such an occasion, you can be sure that Brizzle Boys are pulling out all the stops in terms of lineup – although aside from a few announcements, like Kurt Sovain & Eric the Drag Thing (plus hosts Fluxx Wyldly and Oliver Assets) they’re keeping it a secret for now.
What isn’t a secret is that to celebrate their big anniversary, Brizzle Boys are teaming up with queer ravers QUAVERS – an LGBTQA+ DnB/Jungle night loaded with theatrical flair. Immediately following the Brizzle Boys performance will be MAD MX – an apocalypse themed rave night.
The year is 2080. All straight people have been wiped out by a nuclear apocalypse, the last queer clans roam across the desolate landscape of once beloved Earth. Gathering beneath a radioactive full moon, the last party awaits!
Brizzle Boys x Quavers is taking place on Friday 3 May, at Strange Brew. To grab your tickets, head over to Headfirst. Concession tickets are available, as well as discounted tickets for QTIPOC (people of colour who are queer, trans, or intersex).
