♠️King of Clubs: May 2024 + 2023!♠️

It's a double throwback!! I've been very lucky that for the last two years my final outta town gig before I go on annual leave has been and even more of an honour to be part of the final ever show earlier this year!

I've been really fortunate to find a loving drag community here in Bournemouth but being part of full king line ups is such a privilege which I never take for granted! I'm greatful to be meeting all of these king and everyone's unique approach to kingdom and drag 🙌 So often being a king is isolating so to be welcomed into such line ups (especially when your an outta town lad!) is bloody magical 💕

Once again thank you again for both having me and for all your work putting these shows together and to for being a fantastic stage manager (even with me changing my stage directions last minute😭) looking forward to working with all these amazing people again soon!!

Visual description - two line ups of fantastic drag kings can be seen across the two slides, with us all standing and sitting on multiple stages!

to Poole pride with these fantastic signs! Sadly this was the only one I got a photo with but let's be honest for this dyslexic king I think we can all agree it's the best!

Update - No I'm am not dead and yes I am still on break! Sadly have not had the time to post things like I originally planned but I am still looking for work August onwards if anyone wants a camp king! Hopefully a new show reel will be coming soon and we'll as some tiktoks in general!

✨And that's a wrap on Dandy for the next couple of months ✨

Poole pride was officially my last "big gig" till August as I am now on my yearly summer break! I will still be floating around on the scene (can't be a drag without working atleast 1 or 2 pride events) and I will be at Rubyz most weeks but I'm taking a well deserved break after what has been a very busy year for the man behind the beard.

I will still be active on socials as I want to play catch up (it hasn't made my feed but I have been involved with some fantastic projects and shows this year!)

Got an event which you think I MUST to be involved with? Drop me a line on socials and I will see what I can do!

Want me from August onwards? Get in touch my books are open!

Need some last minute step in and local to the south? Message as I might be able to make something work!

For now though this is your king of camp signing off aka BBBYYYEEEEEEEEEEEEEE✨🎉
