Happy New Year!!

Drag 101 returns for Welcome Week at The Gilchrist Postgraduate Club, Glasgow University on Tuesday 14th January 2025, starting at 7pm and full of draggy fun with our glamorous house queens, Dharma Geddon, Alana Duvey plus a selection of their drag chums.

Featuring more drag shenanigans than you can shake a wig 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.

We're sure everybody's New Year resolutions will be to come to all Drag 101's in 2025! So be sure select the 'Going' button and keep your eyes peeled on our event page for the amazing guest performer announcement poster coming soon.
