Greetings beautiful humans!
Right now, more than ever, it's important to find things to celebrate and guess what... BOiBOX is back and we're celebrating SEVEN glorious years of iconic Drag King Cabaret! It's time to celebrate our seventh birthday because we are in our PRIME! And we've teamed up with The Glory to bring you a bouncing baby BOiBOX like no other!
A Drag King dream that started on a shoestring in a Soho basement is now SEVEN, having spawned a sea of sensational Kings, showcasing 129 Drag Kings and producing 106 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! Whoever 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 celebrate because it's the big one! It's our birthday! And it wouldn't be a birthday without some extra special surprises!
