Birmingham’s first-ever drag and burlesque festival is set to take to the stage on the opening weekend of the Christmas market.
The countdown to the opening of Birmingham’s first-ever drag and burlesque festival is on!
Founder of performance group, House of Allure, Danny Phillips - who performs under the stage name Dominus Von Vexo - has masterminded the two-day extravaganza set to take place on November 6 to November 8 - the same weekend as the city’s famous Christmas market opens.
The event invites fans to “step into a world of utter fabulousness, jaw dropping glamour and outrageous humour, where both the weird and wonderful are championed. Celebrating all the charisma, uniqueness, nerve and talent that Drag and Burlesque has to offer.
“With a commitment to showcasing international performers and platforming stars of Birmingham… Expect cabaret on steroids!”
Speaking about the upcoming event, Danny said: “I am ecstatic to be launching and producing the first festival of its kind, right here in Birmingham! My home town! Celebrating our wonderful city and these utterly energetic, expressive art forms.
“After selling out numerous shows across the city… I felt it was time to make this dream a reality! Birmingham is in for a treat and I can’t wait to boost the platform of Birmingham’s artistic talent… we are after all the second biggest city.
“It will be a fabulous, creative and authentic display of local, national and international skill… I simply can’t wait!”
