Greetings beautiful humans!
Right now, more than ever, it's important to find things to celebrate and guess what... BOiBOX is SEVEN! AND there's more... we're back in the building at our beloved home, The Glory with a seated (socially distanced) superstar supershow! It's time to celebrate our seventh birthday because we are in our PRIME!
A Drag King dream that started on a shoe string in a Soho basement is now SEVEN, having spawned a sea of sensational Kings, showcasing 129 Drag Kings and producing 105 dedicated BOiBOX Drag King shows and counting... We've kicked down several doors, survived misogyny, regeneration, changes in venues, a pandemic... and we are still here and still Queer! Who ever said that Drag Kings can't, look at them DO! And we keep doing thanks to the incredible performers we work with and our amazing audiences...YOU!
So get with the Drag King Revolution and celebrate this milestone with us as we put a super-show to celebrate because it's the big one! It's our birthday!
Hosted by Cabaret Power Couple Adam All & Apple Derrieres
