SUNDAY 17TH MAY / DOORS + WARM-UP TO GIRLYPOP 3PM / KICK-OFF 4PM(ISH) / DRAG SHOW 6PM(ISH) @OLD SPOTTED DOG, FOREST GATE, E7 9NP
Football is coming hom(m)e in time for hot tboy summer! 🏆
We're throwing another sexy, sweaty fundraiser for some of our fave tboys & enbies to get the chests of their (and our) dreams on International Day against Homophobia, Biphobia and Transphobia on 17th May, 2026 🏳️⚧️
This event is in two parts - a football match & drag show - all at the historic, community-run Old Spotted Dog Ground. Come for one or both!
PART 1) THE FOOTBALL MATCH (4PM)
This match stars some of the leading lads from the UK's first (probably) transmasc-centred football team, Homme FC, three of whom are fundraising for their top surgery, as well as friends from Baes FC, Goaldiggers, and more.
The day is about fun and everyone - divas, himbos and skipping around having the queer football match of their dreams we never got to have as kids.
The game will be refereed & hosted by the ridiculous & brilliant drag king, Fabio Lezonli, who 'mostly knows' the rules...
Make your way to the stand to cheer our players on, watch the hotties get hot & channel your inner WAG (or BAH: Boyfriends and Husbands).
Kick off will be as close to 4pm as we can (gay time inclusive), and we're even treating you all to a delicious little bake sale at half time so you (& our players) can enjoy a lil sweet treat for all your hard work shouting for your favourite player. 🎂
Football will be played, fun will be had, knowing anything about football optional!⚽
PART 2) THE DRAG (6PM)
Post the big, sexy football match we'll all be heading into the clubhouse for cheap drinks, chats and even more entertainment 🤩 And yes, (most of) the players will be there waiting for your compliments & commiserations...
This fabulous show stars a stacked line up of the hottest stars from the drag & silly guy world, including:
🌟 Pip Dream
🌟 Cabbage The Clown
🌟 Dosa Cat
🌟 Barbs
🌟 Carrot
🌟 Kathy Maniura
🌟 Jean
