THE GALLIFREY CABARET: 60TH BDAY BASH!!

60 years of Time and Space??

Anything could happen…

There ain’t no party like a Time Lord party, so to celebrate DOCTOR WHO’s big birthday year we’re hosting a bumper night of queer cosmic cabaret, with a superstar line-up [including some old favourites…], lots of surprises, and all the magical madness you’d expect.

On the eve of the 60th anniversary, we’re taking over London’s iconic Royal Vauxhall Tavern and piloting our LGBTQARDIS+  thru a vortex of dazzling drag, stellar stand-up, burlesque to make a Cyberperson blush, and a heavenly host of special guests…

(Full lineup to be announced soon, keep your eye-stalks on @CarrotDrag / @connolly_reece on all popular platforms)

Fancy dress and party-hats are not compulsory but are highly highly encouraged. And with the RVT open till late and our interdimensional DJ on the decks, we’ll be keeping the fun going till the early hours. **EXTERMINATE THE DANCEFLOOR!!**

The moment has been prepared for. Our vortex manipulators are fully-charged, our sonics are ready to be screwdrivered. The whoniverse is here, and it’s hella QUEER 💙💙

Are you ready for the adventure of a lifetime?

Then take our hand and get ready to PARTAYYYY!

TICKETS

Pre-sale and standard entry tickets may be standing tickets. There will be limited seats available, if you require a seat but cannot pay for a VITL ticket, see access info below. Aside from that, get there as early as possible to secure a seat!

VITL (Very Important Time Lords) tickets include access to the VITL zone at the back of the venue on the raised platform, with a great view of the stage and seats, plus some extra timey-wimey treats. The extra cost of the VITL tickets helps to subsidise NOTAFLOF (not turned away from lack of funds) tickets, so please do consider purchasing a VITL ticket if you are able.

Doors open: 7pm
Show starts: 8pm

RAFFLE

We will be running a raffle raising money for the wonderful Cabaret Vs Cancer – and have included this as an add-on if you want to get in early. The raffle is always very popular on the night! These cost £5 per strip of 5 tickets.

There will be multiple Who-themed prizes of varying type/quality! You already know they’ll be ridiculous/brilliant/iconic. Some of them may even be signed and/or one-of-a-kind…
