Next up its Glamour Pussy Drag Swap!!!

Every queen in our cast has been paired up with another to showcase their most iconic numbers and looooooks.

We can’t wait to announce who’s swapping with who, it’s going to be an absolute treat for everyone!!

You obviously don’t want to miss this.

'𝐼𝑛 𝑡𝑟𝑢𝑡ℎ,' Jules Gill-Peterson writes, '𝑒𝑣𝑒𝑟𝑦𝑜𝑛𝑒 𝑖𝑠 𝑖𝑚𝑝𝑙𝑖𝑐𝑎𝑡𝑒𝑑 𝑖𝑛 𝑎𝑛𝑑 𝑠ℎ𝑎𝑝𝑒𝑑 𝑏𝑦 𝑡𝑟𝑎𝑛𝑠 𝑚𝑖𝑠𝑜𝑔𝑦𝑛𝑦.'

As Trans Awareness Week brings its usual round of flags and corporate platitudes, let's plot a route to true trans liberation by reading and talking about this slim, powerful queer history book, which exposes the historical origins of the transmisogynistic system in which we all live.

Come along even if you haven't read the whole thing, and we'll learn from each other: understanding how we got our current transphobic worldview is the first step towards burning it down.

Out + Loud are back at the Bookish Type for another queer open mic!

As the winter evenings draw in, we’re thinking about what keeps us hopeful and connected. Come along and share something; personal, political, rage or joy, new words or old favourites to chase away wintery disillusionment.

To sign up to perform simply send us a message or email, there will also be a few spaces to sign up on the night if inspiration strikes. So whether you’re a poet, comedian, musician, or something else entirely, we’d love to have you perform with us!

In their UK premiere, the unashamedly Queer, anti-racist and anti-fascist musical duo Fado Bicha (Lila Fadista and João Caçador) will perform their unique blend: traditional Portuguese Fado singing, feisty electric guitar and daring political messages. 

Free entry, booking required.

Cat will take us on a guided tour of the history of gender and monstrous bodies, before giving you the chance to make your own monstrous collage art and poetry from historical pictures and texts - a perfect start to the spooky season!
