Fed up with Late Stage Capitalism crashing your party? Tired of news that never quite matches your style? Wanting to scream at the state of the world?
Then strap on in for NOT THE NEWS FOR YOU where queer politics meets left-wing propaganda with a ‘It Britney Bitch’ flourish. Brace yourself for drag artist throwing shade at politicians, activists talking pop culture and the juiciest gay gossip that’s fresher than your morning oat latte. (not from Starbucks)
Our fabulous host, (and your local communist drag king) Comrade May, will interview our guest panellists for their off-the-cuff and unfiltered opinions on current affairs. As well as introducing our fabulous new co-anchor, Dragona Budjet, who’ll report on the glamorous dissent of the world whilst looking fabulous and wearing red vinted heels.
BUT WE DONT STOP AT SATIRE -We’ve got live performances from our panellists and mind-blowing acts from our guests. What more could you possibly ask for, comrade?
So, get ready to laugh your socialist socks off, cry at the state of the world, and cheer for the incredible queer talent on stage. We’re live and ready to light up Hackney Showrooms with revolutionary flair!
It’s a Commie-nomenom you won’t want to miss!
And for the record, we’re not the BBC, so expect bias, flamboyance, and a serious lack of objectivity.
