I was so happy to receive an invite to adult panto tour in 2024. I was invited to attend the local venue and photograph the amazing queens that day. On the day the cast consisted Kate Butch, Banksie and Sophia Stardust. Due to illness Victoria Scone was unable to perform and due to unforeseen circumstances Bailey J Mills left the show.
The show was amazing blending the camp art of drag with panto. Alice in wonderland was the perfect show for this cast to perform.
Tour company : Adult panto - Charming Events
Cast on the day: Kate Butch, Banksie, Sophie Stardust
Full cast : Kate Butch, Banksie, Sophia stardust, Victoria Scone and Bailey J Mills.
I loved attending the UK VS world tour and really loved that the tour came to Bournemouth meaning that this was a local venue for me. I was able to take my friend to this show making it her first drag show. The show had all of the queens from the show with all of them performing a solo 10 min performance, a group opening and closing number.
The show was a full drag variety act.

I loved being invited to see Joe Black perform at Poole pride. It was lovey to see Joe perform after not seeing them in a little while. This was the first time Poole decided to host a pride event.
Joe had 30 min set and filled out the full set doing an array of songs on the piano performing some of his own songs as well as some covers that he's done. The event was so lovely and it was in a nice small room in the lighthouse allowing it to be a intimate event with no more than 50 people.
Joe is a unique drag performer, creating their own Brighton shows as well as attending other shows.
Venue : Lighthouse poole
Performer: Joe Black
I loved heading to Cardiff to surprise 3 of my favourite queens. Me and mum planned to travel to Cardiff to surprise the queen as it had been a while since we seen them and with Cardiff being a few hours away non of the queens expected us to be there.
The winners tour was amazing and really showed why these girls are winers in their own right. The show included a group opening performance, 20 min individual performances and then a group closing performance.
The show included Series 2 winner Lawrence Chaney, Series 3 winner Krystal Versace, Series 4 winner Danny beard and Series 5 winner Ginger Johnson. Due to scheduling clash Series 1 winner The Vivianne was unable to join the girls on tour.
Everyone on this tour has there own performing style wether it be lip-syncing or comedic performing.
I was so exited to find out that Kate Butch was doing a show in Southampton as it ment another local show for me. I was able to take my sister to this show making it her first ever drag show and defiantly not the last one that she will be attending.
With their name being a pun on Kate Bush this show was just a highlight of what Kate Butch does really well. This was not my first time seeing her perform and defiantly not the last. The show really reflects what Kate does best bending her comedic elements with her drag.

How to spend a Saturday night? Night out watching Danny Beard in his tour obviously.
Seeing Danny perform is always amazing and I've seen him many times but this time was extra special having his band there with him. Danny is always so lovely and makes sure the people around him are looked after.
The show worked perfectly for the venue he was in. Danny performed in the main room a the lighthouse in Poole, Dorset.
Danny is a live singer and having the band there with him just made the performance even better. Danny performed an array of songs that targets people of all ages.
Performers: Danny beard and his band
Ive seen Ginger more times than I can count now and I travel near and far to see her perform. This show was the first show she has done since winning drag race and her first solo show.
Seeing gingers shows are always so unpredictable as you never know what to expect when it comes to her shows.
Ive seen ginger perform as all sorts of things such as an alien to shooting herself out of a cannon. Gingers performances are always amazing and get the audiences thinking. When Ginger has an idea there is no stopping her.

As soon as I heard Sasha was coming to the uk I knew I had to be there. This was such a star studded line up full of amazing queens and Sasha was amazing. The team at DFIU events put on such an amazing shown and allowed me to see what they do and how well they treat everyone they work with. Although I wasn't invited to this show as press this show then allowed me to work with DFIU events in 2025 and I'm so grateful with the opportunities they've given me in 2025.
The show was all round amazing and all of the performers left no crumbs on the stage. Sasha was amazing to meet and so lovely in person. This is the nigh 2 queens became Colbys (Paige three and Tailor maid) one of the British Colbys has now been on drag race and both of them are achieving amazing things.
