Join Andro and Eve at Sidney and Matilda for a festive party and queer cabaret hosted by drag artist and burlesque star Rhys Pieces!
We’re here to revel in all our sweet messy goodness for a night of camp nonsense with performances from drag king Unknown Amazon and a line up full of fresh Northern talent. And we’re serving up extra scrumptiousness with a cheeky lil DJ set and dancing after the show has ended!
Keep it sweet and dress in confectionary inspired outfits - candy cane, chocolate orange or Quality Street - we’ve all got a fave festive treat. Dressing up is, as always, encouraged but never required. Just bring yourself and join in our celebration of queer culture with added treats!
