Guess who's back in the house! Just in time for spooky season!

That's right it's the return of Drag 101 at The Gilchrist Postgraduate Club, Glasgow University on Tuesday 7th October 2025, starting at 7pm and full of draggy fun with our frightening house queens, the terrifying Dharma Geddon, the horrifying Alana Duvey plus a selection of their spooktacular drag chums.

Featuring more drag shenanigans than you can shake a broomstick at, for example but not limited to, lip sync performances (a drag staple), live singing, comedy, drama, burlesque, cabaret, games and sometimes the downright unexpected and weird, and not forgetting a wee fun chat or two with all of Dharma and Alana's dated/niche references. All while continuing to break gender norms, experiment with gender and self expression through performance.

What better way to kick off the changing of the seasons and Postgraduate Welcome Week than by coming to Drag 101! So be sure select the 'Going' button on our Facebook Event page and keep your eyes of newt peeled there for the amazing guest performer announcement poster coming soon.

As always, Drag 101 is open to all, no matter your age, race, background, gender, sexuality, monster, identity, pronouns, neurotype, ghost, abilities, body type, shape, dead or alive, size, hair colour, eye colour etc. you get the idea! You don't even need to be a student or a postgraduate at the university to come and enjoy a scare at the show.

We operate a welcoming, accessible, safe and relaxed space for all, like all good haunted houses. The overall vibe of the show is nice and chilled, seated cafe vibes. PLUS you can purchase drinks at the bar and even a cheeky snack or two.
So whether you're a Rupaul's Drag Race, Boulet Brothers' Dragula, Queen of the Universe or even a Camp Wannakiki super fan; a local drag connoisseur or you've never heard of or seen a drag performer in your life, you will be welcomed with open arms and shown all the love here at Drag 101. Our only aim is that you'll leave having been thoroughly entertained.

What more could you want? Free entry? Well, we got that too! This is a completely free show to watch. Just turn up, no tickets required.
