Hello again, beautiful humans…
BOiBOX is BACK!
By popular demand and for the sake of Drag King fans far and wide, oh my God, we're back again! Yes, the world renowned BOiBOX is back and for yet another dazzling, dedicated Drag King Cabaret show, presenting the UKs finest Drag King superstars in London's glittering West End at the sumptuous Phoenix Arts Club! After over 10 years of sell out, sensational shows in the East End and across the UK, BOiBOX has become the UK's most recognised Drag King Show, known as ‘London’s vital Drag King Show-case… the cornerstone of the UK Drag King Scene' (TimeOut). Come and join the next wave and King size your Cabaret experience!
10 years ago, BOiBOX began on a shoestring in a Soho basement…and here we are in London's glittering West end! Hey, we've survived the gentrification of Soho, a global pandemic and high-kicked down more dastardly draggy doors of misogyny than we can count, with jazz hands! With the dedication of our team and the talent of our incredible scene, BOiBOX has grown to become an internationally renowned jewel of the global Drag King world, the birth place of Drag King legends and the cornerstone of the UK Drag King Scene. What started with a handful of Kings is now bulging with brilliant talent. They said Drag Kings couldn't…well look at them DO! And by the way, male impersonators have been here since 618 AD. So!
King-size your cabaret experience and join us as we bring Drak King brilliance and for your viewing pleasure with a bumper bash of a show…
Hosted by the iconic Drag Duo, legendaddy Drag King Adam All & icon of the West ends toilets, Apple Derrieres!
Adam has been performing internationally for 18 years and has been instrumental in the growth in the Drag King Scene in the UK. Adam All was referred to as the 'Godfather' of the modern Drag King scene in the UK and one of the 'Game-changers' of the UK Drag Scene in TimeOut Magazine . He is the first winner of Pride in London's 'Prides Got Talent Cabaret' and the first ever winner of 'Best Drag King' at the 2019 QX Cabaret Awards and recipient of the award for best Drag Artist at the Pink News Awards in 2024. Apple Derrieres joined Adam All on stage in 2013 and together they have since taken the cabaret world by storm, performing internationally together with their unique brand of live blended vocals, coordinated couture and cartoon flavoured Drag. Apple Derrieres is also known for her theatrics on and off stage, ‘super swinging’ in the West End and as host of the iconic Lesbian Karaoke night at She Soho.
Adam & Apple are the co-curators and co-producers of BOiBOX, they are huge advocates of the LGBTQI+ scene, their aim being to bring visibility to AFAB love, people and performers, particularly within the Cabaret scene. They have a simple mantra: “We can do it, together. Collaborating, working together and supporting each other has been our foundation. Together we are stronger. Together we can make the world a better place.” Oh and they're married in real life.

Fabio Lezonli!
Fabio Lezonli is the screaming, unhinged, multi award-winning comedy king and compere of East London.

Most recently he won the award for philanthropy at 2026 “The Draggies”. Since bursting onto the scene in 2023, Fabio has left his mark upon thousands of unsuspecting audience members all across the UK, from Bournemouth to Aberdeen.
He is a regular nuisance at venues such aa “The Clapham Grand”, “The Divine” and “Shoreditch Town Hall”. He is also the producer of The Schitts Show- a drag parody celebrating all things Schitts Creek, Cabaret - The Best and The Cursed, Booted Rivalry, Scream if you Wanna Worm Faster, Scream and many more.
One fan said he is “The epitome of poetic chaos. You may think you know what you're in for, but the reality is much more entertaining”.
Freddie Love!
Freddie Love (they/them) has built a career refusing to stay in one lane. A nonbinary performer working across drag, cabaret, opera, and the West End, they are known for powerhouse vocals and fearless theatricality.
