Hola, amigas!
Happy New Year!!! We start 2026 on a high: our yearly tribute to Raffaella Carrà, at the iconic Bethnal Green Working Men's Club!! Read on.
Since the passing of Raffaella Carrà during the pandemic, we at Lady Olé have thrown a couple of Raffaella-themed parties to an incredible response. Raffaella is immortal, and ultimately one of the most relevant activists showbiz has ever been graced with. We are grateful for everything she represents, and have decided to turn what was an odd tribute into a yearly celebration. And that's exactly what's happening: Lady Olé presents RAFFAELLA ANNUAL CELEBRATION
The first time we honoured Raffica, we did it very DIY with The O'lettes presenting a rather comic show. Then we evolved into full drag numbers which left us iconic performances from the likes of Paprika Dramasiado and Dramala Tina. This year, we are going one step further. We've asked three drag artists, and two dancers to do their take on Raffaella.
We are incredibly proud to welcome back Dramala Tina for this edition, and over the moon to have one of our Italian regulars premiering as drag queen Katisse with a live show that will leave you speechless. If this wasn't enough, scene queen Keela Kraving will also join the bill. GoGo sensations The Ginger Viking and Nicolas Macena will make the audiences melt alongside resident DJs Jesús RedSoul and Larga DJ who will play all your Raffaella faves and the usual Spanish, Latin, and Euro hits.
Lady Olé is back at its former venue Bethnal Green Working Men's Club (BGWMC) for this one (and we couldn't be happier to be honest).
