London’s only Drag night platforming strictly Kings of Colour is BACK !! This time… with PRIDE.
BIG KOC ENERGY is designed to uplift and carve out space for Kings of Colour.
Too often do we see lineups that are either entirely white, or entirely queen-based. This Pride month put your allyship into active mode and show up & show out for the marginalised identities in cabaret.
This night aims to demonstrate that not only do Drag Kings exist, we are pumped with melanin and full of flavour.
The art of being a King, like any other form of Drag, is subjective and versatile.
Watch this space for the performers you will see grace our shows.
We've got BIG KOC ENERGY.
Are you hard enough? 😉
ACCESS:
Sadly, The Divine is currently not fully accessible.
The cabaret and club space are in the basement of the venue. There are 17 wide steps with slipresistant treads down to the space with sturdy handrails either side.
The toilets are in the basement and are not accessible for wheelchair users.
If you need further information, please refer to The Divine ‘About’ page on the website. www.thedivine.co.uk
Whilst our goal is to move to a space that is fully accessible, these spaces charge hire fees and have minimum bar spends that are less accessible to those who come from systemically marginalised demographics. Before being able to commit to these spaces and gamble breaking even, we need to see if an event like ours will get an audience through the door in the first place. We need to see if we can break even without these extra costs first. Only once we can confirm our audience, regulars, and get feelers out for our show, we as Trans working class POC will be able to afford to move to venues that charge us for the space. We are deeply grateful to The Divine, and we look forward to seeing how this night grows.
Please come on down and support what we are trying to do here, so we know in future that we can take risks and sacrifice from our own pockets without losing money in our quest to move to an accessible space .
