Christmas Cabaret at The Divine

Dalston’s newest queer venue The Divine celebrates its first ever Christmas season with loads of festive shows from east London’s favourite queerdos this December. Polish drag collective Slav 4 U kick off the Christmas period with a performance-fuelled natter about Slavic festive traditions co-hosted by Polka Dot and Stealia Jobs (Fri Dec 6). Then there’s a special festive edition of absurdist drag show Don’t Drag Me I’m Scared (Sun Dec 8 and Mon Dec 9) followed by a Christmassy special of Queerdos Cabaret hosted by Rhys’ Pieces (Fri Dec 13). After something that leans into the religious themes a little more? Check out Heteronornativity (Mon Dec 16), where six acts have been tasked with creating a show inspired by the role they performed in their childhood school nativity. It’s gonna be camp as Christmas.
