Drag is for EVERYONE! Uma and Selma Gahd bring you a drag cabaret full of possibility. We say NO to limits imposed by external forces, and YES to shining the spotlight on Deaf, autistic and mobility-impaired drag kings and queens. Get ready for an evening of high energy, passion, zany fun… and of course, lots of glitter.
The art of drag celebrates differences, daring and disruption of the status quo. It’s a medium for reinvention as much as play—one which attests that there’s no one way to be or to express yourself. Dragcessible is an unapologetic, love-fuelled celebration of the unexpected.
