HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO US
We’re turning ONE and we’re throwing the kind of birthday party people still whisper about in the smoking area weeks later.
Expect a glorious, over-the-top celebration bursting with drag, live music, and dancing that refuses to respect anyone’s bedtime. Our most-loved performers will be out in full force, serving looks, stunts, and moments, with surprise guests popping up when you least expect them. Blink and you’ll miss a reveal. Turn around and someone fabulous has just stolen the room.
This is a night with too much to see, too much to drink, and absolutely no intention of calming down. The bar will be flowing, the dance floor will be feral, and the energy will be birthday-chaos at its finest.
And because it’s our birthday, you’re getting the gifts.
We’re celebrating with a whole week of exclusive birthday offers, secret specials, and delicious little surprises designed to keep the party going long after the candles are blown out.
It’s camp.
It’s boozy.
It’s unapologetic.
It’s our birthday, and you’re very much invited. 🎂✨🥂
Booking Coming Soon.
