Drageoke Wonderland


Mr Brake Down (UK)

A karaoke night with a difference, this is a dragged-up game show you won’t want to miss. You can expect stunning vocals from drag king Mr Brake Down and his occasional special guests, but the real stars of the show are the ones we find in the audience along the way! Wonderfully different and wildly unpredictable every night, this inclusive music show will have you swaying along to shower-song favourites and cabaret anthems in an explosion of pure comedic musical joy. Have you got what it takes to snatch the Drageoke crown?

    Mr Brake Down: The Headmaster Will See You Now

    A special school assembly harking back to the grand old days of the bawdy British boarding school, hosted by drag king and self-proclaimed "Head" Master Mr Brake Down. It's a right carry-on in this St Trinian-esque show as you, the student body, experience the academy announcements, receive a highly stimulating motivational speech from the Head, and hear parables, hymns and storytime as you've never heard them before. This cheeky character comedy show offers drag, debauchery and a dry wit that's sure to suit fans of classic British humour. Available in our digital on-demand programme and was performed live in our Edinburgh Fringe 2022 season.mrbrakedownbooking.wixsite.com/mrbrakedown/the-headmaster-will-see-you-nowlinktr.ee/mrbrakedownwww.instagram.com/mrbrakedown/ Watch Trailer

    Babs for Life

    At a post-scandal press conference, Preservative MP Babs Romance guides the audience through the highs and lows of her political career, with archive footage, dance numbers, speeches and flashbacks. As Babs puts herself at the centre of memorable political events, this unabashed drag show takes a satirical slant on those who govern us. Babs debuted as part of a lockdown series on BBC Radio in 2021, which was later archived as part of the country’s reaction to Covid by the British Library. Babs saw it all unfold, and has a vast and detailed story to tell…Written, Performed and Directed by | Freddie Mainfacebook.com/bonapptheatre/ instagram.com/babsromancemp/

    Doom and Glitter: A Tribute To Tom Waits

    In this laid-back cabaret filled with vocal impersonations, live singing and bluesy banter, drag king Mr Brake Down pays tribute to the wit and wonderment of the iconic Tom Waits. Gloriously odd and experimental, the show takes audiences on a musical journey through some of Waits' seminal works, whilst Brake expounds on just how much a drag king from South Wales might have in common with the California-born performer. Expect to be bemused in a highly enjoyable fashion by a show that must be seen to be believed!

    Why, Gahd, WHY?!

    As the world falls into chaos, humanity is looking for its path. How will humanity navigate this treacherous terrain of uncertainty? Drag, of course! How better to understand the absurdity of it all? Why, Gahd? WHY?! is a journey into the chaos and a guiding light. Two living Gahds have blessed the mortals with their presence and will share their knowledge of the universe through the ancient arts of divination and drag… which might just be tainted with pop culture references, witty banter, and a flair for the dramatic. Fresh from the 2021 OFFTA festival in Montréal.www.houseofgahd.comwww.facebook.com/HouseOfGahdwww.instagram.com/houseofgahdwww.youtube.com/channel/UCVmWjc_GWSXicSrtlJSv-9A Watch Preview – Flat EarthWatch Preview – Rosemary’s Baby
