£5/7 + 1 on the door
It’s timeeeeeeee… for our first time at ‘What If…?’!!! Come along to a night of firsts, and of reminiscing on your firsts! You will definitely remember your first time at our show…
We are starting this show because we want to make a drag space in Edinburgh that has a focus on creative experimentation and on nurturing new performers. Drag is meant to be fun, creative, pushing boundaries and most importantly, it is for everyone. ‘What If…?’ will (hopefully) be a monthly show, always themed, always fun and refreshing, so come on down for our first one.
‘What if it’s our first time?’ will be hosted by Narcisse Empoté-Ose and Qualia Deskunt, starring the artistic stylings of Max Hetero, Jay Gnormous and Bea52!
There will also be an opportunity for YOU to strut your stuff onstage in an audience lip sync - keep an eye out on our instagram for the song, and make sure you learn those words if you want to win a very special prize! (Audience lip sync participation will be on a completely voluntary basis).
‘What If…?’ will take place in Bedlam Theatre in Edinburgh, on Thursday, October 16th. Doors open at 7:30pm, with performances from 8pm-10pm. Tickets are £5 for students ahead of time, £6 for students 0TD (you will be asked to show valid student ID). General entry is £7 ahead of time and £8 OTD.
WHAT IF is a strictly 18+ event, so make sure to bring your ID. There is an accessibility post on our Instagram (@whatifitsadragshow), but you can also visit Bedlam Theatre’s website.
