TICKETS @ THE DOOR ONLY :) FEATURING: YOUR HOSTS: SHY FRiEND - alt-pop jams & silly comedy from Jubs (the creator of SHY FRiEND) as well as their drag debut as Azz Beztaz! Ida No - This performer is nothing more than an extraterrestrial sent to the earth to infiltrate the boringness of our current reality and instead influence the world to embrace a more colourful and tacky way of existing. Featuring primarily handmade costumes, this monarch combines fibre art with drag to play with gender in a way that will have make even the most obsessively straight amoung us be unable to accurately answer the question "are you queer" with anything more than "Ida No." WITH PERFORMANCES BY: Noble Oney - This king is a completely ridiculous, playful, jokester…but make no mistake, you can expect no baloney with this stud. Not a scrap. Not a particle. Not even a smidgen. Meatless Monday? More like meatless man day. Yours truly is a rebellious drag king who can be found either fighting for visibility of afab drag artist or trying to get to the bottom of why skip the dishes doesn’t offer vegan desserts. Find him every weekend at The Attic for Holi-GAY Weekends or every other month for Waffle-y Cute, an emerging family drag show. Oliver Twirl - Born on Treaty 6 land and currently planted in Treaty 7 territory: Small in stature, and with a Publicly-Funded Flat Chest: this performer twirls around the spectrum in search of the best parts of all genders. Raised on the stage, they have performed and worked with various professional and amateur companies including Gwaandak Theatre, Incendiary Festival, Theatre Calgary, Arts Commons, Play Between Your Thighs, Fake Mustache Drag Troupe, Rosebud Theatre, and MCS Theatre. They have been writing since they were young and have recently begun dreaming about disabled happiness and queer love being freely represented in art. Disabled and dreaming of a flesh suit that doesn't hurt all the time: it’s Oliver Twirl! Hexen Sublime - This shape-shifting entity is here to convince you they're not just a pretty face, they're also an eldritch horror hiding just below the surface of calm waters. Be warned, you wouldn't be the first person they dragged to the depths with their dance skills.
