Come join us for our all new Cabaret & Drag Lab Plus. This is a 10-week course for cabaret and drag artists with 20+ gigs under their belt who want to take their work to the next level. It will be led by Me the Drag Queen, an icon of the UK drag scene who has performed in Berlin, New York, LA, San Francisco, Helsinki, Stockholm, Zagreb and many more – and runs the well-known Not Another Drag Competition.
The course will support artists in expanding their skillset, expanding their material, trying new ideas and honing their act.
The Cabaret & Drag Lab Plus group meet weekly on Wednesdays, with a public sharing at the final session at our Dean Street venue, to celebrate all you’ve learned over the course. We ask that participants commit to attending all 10 weeks.
