Drag Brunch Bingo + Cabaret | 1pm
Curated by the everso fabulous Hundred Watt Club
Eyes Down! Bingo is coming to town! Your fabulous host is Carrot - they have spent the last 4 years carving out a career as the UK’s premiere drag vegetable, most notably producing and hosting monthly The Enby Show across the UK. Their practice is about creating joy for the sake of joy and they take silliness very seriously. Which is an absolutely perfect way to kick off the Sunday of the festival!
You'll get a selection of canapes + welcome drink. To round off the show we have Lou Safire + Mahatma Khandi two amazing cabaret acts specially selected by Hundred Watt Club. Try not to take your bingo too seriously. At the end of the day, it’s just a load of balls! Questionable prizes and glory await! *prosecco/bucksfizz/soft drink
