Queer Pride is in full swing, and as we get closer to Pride weekend our stage is jam packed with legendary performers and the best emerging talents, along side the best parties in the village.
THE WEEK AT A GLANCE
WEDNESDAY
PrideCab at 8pm
THURSDAY
Shawn Hitchins: Fire(crotch) Sale at 8pm | Iconoclasm at 8pm
FRIDAY
Work It! at 10pm
SATURDAY
Airship at 8pm | Buddies After Hours at 10:30pm
On Thursday, cabaret sensation Shawn Hitchins will be giving his final cabaret performance ever with Fire(crotch) Sale - featuring a mix of old and new material and a great line-up of special guests, you won't want to miss this opportunity to see one of our city's greatest cabaret performers one last time. And on the very same night, reigning art rock pontiff Carole Pope takes to the stage with Slanty Eyed Mama for Iconoclasm, where she will perform live from her latest album, Landfall. Decisions, decisions...
This week is also your chance to see the ever-popular PrideCab, a night of original stories, songs and performance created by members of Buddies’ Queer Youth Arts Programme. Happening Wednesday, this event is free if you're 25 and under, but come early because this one always sells out.
When the weekend rolls around, we've got you covered with three great events. On Friday, the fierce and fabulous MC Jazz hosts Work It! - Church Street's first-ever queer hip hop showcase. Come watch up and coming queer hip hop artists throw down rhymes and compete for cash prizes, then stay late for an old-school party with DJ Nix, and performances by Saye Sky, Catherine Hernandez, Miss Afi Brown, and Kumari G.
On Saturday, aerial dance sensations Femmes du Feu transform Buddies into a sexy steampunk circus world of high flying acrobatics and electrifying feats, and as the night rolls on we throw open our doors for a full facility dance party with DJs K-Tel and Triple-X, Cassandra, and the always outrageous Donnarama.
