Pride Punx is proud to present live music from 3 of the UK's finest queer punk powerhouses: THE MENSTRUAL CRAMPS - a DIY queer punk band from Bristol, UK. Formed in 2017, the band is known for its feminist, anti-fascist, and pro-choice stance. Their music, being loud, raw, and unapologetically queer, makes a powerful statement that has shaken up the punk scene and earned them spots at major festivals. THE DUB RIGHTERS - a fierce blend of punk, reggae, ska and hip hop. Born from the gritty energy of London's underground punk scene, their music brings people together for a skank, a 2-step, occasionally a circle pit, and many a rowdy beautiful moment. SKSie - a lo-fi, choral punk 3 piece band who met at queer London choir F*Choir. want to make people dance and we’re learning how to in public. They've got a set full of corg bangers, DIY til we die chants, spooky analogue punk songs that they wrote on Whatsapp, an ASMR tune called boy-tits, and a pop ballad about the coolest people they know.
The Magic Garden
Pride Punx is proud to present the insatiable Red Rash Inn artists for a night of queer cabaret to delight and derange the senses. Featuring: SMASHLYN MONROE - Feisty and flabulous. The embodiment of fierce individuality and unapologetic artistry. A true powerhouse of drag, sideshow, burlesque. There can only be one C*** of all Trades...... MIA SHANTI - your glamorous ring leader putting you through your paces as she performs a mixture of burlesque strip tease, acro balance chair and a champagne pour finale! NARKOTIC - a glamorous and alluring club demon. The pretty mess of Bristol is a captivating blend of charm and chaos. Don’t stare for too long or you will get addicted! Narcotik's performance is an immersive spectacle that combines theatrical flair with a chilling, otherworldly energy. Their persona blurs the line between glamorous diva and something far more sinister, challenging the audience’s perception of what is “normal.” MISS VENUS WAILER - Prepare to be dazzled by the electrifying presence of Miss Venus Wailer, a spectacular Venezuelan drag queen who brings a cosmic blend of moves and sass to the stage! Otherworldly looks and jaw-dropping choreography, get ready to unearth the extraordinary!
The Magic Garden
Pride Punx is proud to present a double bill of comedy chaos with Su Mi and Nat Funni: THISMOTHERPHUCKER is a public nuisance. A dysfunctional anti-clown whose only mission is to destroy ego. A wild exploration of human existence, this eccentric comedy extravaganza will have you more than just laughing....capturing hearts, flies and stray bullets, they want to take your sweet and supple hand and lead you down the trippiest rabbit hole you couldn't even imagine in your most feral fever dreams. A surreal yet dystopian punk adventure, with some face melting, untamed thrash metal solos, join this reckless, spineless chucklehead on a journey to your own self discovery. I promise you it’s not a cult. Pinky promise. The bubblegum sweetheart of East London, a fierce fat queer with a love of entertaining- Nat Funni is host and co producer of some of London's silliest cabaret & parties, East London drag competition royalty, international touring draglesque treasure, and all round non binary icon. An extremely silly & sexy clown; they're Nat Funni, they're Hilarious! Wander through their TV soaked mind for an evening of cowboys, singsongs & extremely gay puppets.
The Magic Garden
Come along for queer comedy-storytelling magic in Niall Moorjani's unique and raucous retelling of the Arthurian classic set on New Year's Eve. Follow the story of Sir Gawain and his adventures, all started by the peer-pressured, unfortunate and unsuccessful chopping-off of The Green Knight's head. Now Gawain is going to get his head chopped off in return by the miraculously still alive green knight. Disaster. But King Arthur reckons this will be grand as Gawain needs to do more manly things anyway and there is nothing more manly than taking a good head chop-off. THE GREEN KNIGHT BUT IT'S GAY brings this story to the modern world with deep love for the original text. Praise for Niall's other work: 5 stars'Spellbinding' - Lost in Theatreland 5 stars 'Storytelling genius' - The Scotsman 5 Stars "Storytelling at it's finest, the skinny" 'Genius reinvention of the form' - Fringe of Colour
