LOVE DRAGTUALLY
“Whenever we get gloomy about the state of the world, we think about the arrivals gate at Heathrow airport. And then we think about throwing a chaotic Christmas cabaret!“
Merry Christmas, Love Lovers!
Oh ho ho ho yes, that’s right, Fabio and Cabbage are joining forces once again, this time to bring you “Love Dragtually” - a festive fumble through everyone’s favourite Christmas classic.
Befitting the source material, we will be joined by a huge, all star cast of Drag and Cabaret legends, more knitwear than your Nan could even dream of, and some light hearted jokes that have aged like fine milk; left out for Santa since 2003.
All we want for Christmas is for you to dig out your best turtleneck, baker boy cap or octopus costume, and chase the love of your life over to The Clapham Grand to remember that love, actually is, all around. And it's camp as hell.
TICKETS
Standard entry tickets grant entry to unreserved seating in the stalls and circle. If it’s very busy there may be some standing tickets. Get there as early as possible to secure a good seat!
Concession pricing is for anyone who believes they need to pay less, for example those on low income or those accessing benefits. (Note: if you are struggling to a afford a ticket at all, see NOTAFLOF info in access section below for more info)
VIP tickets will secure a seat at a table down in the stalls, with the best and most immersive view of the show! The extra cost of these help us subsidise free/cheaper tickets so do consider these if you are able.
