Halloween drag cabaret night with live singing, dancing and a Best Dressed prize, hosted by Vanilla Fuzion.
Kream Cabaret returns as a Halloween special at Lola Lo on Friday 6 November, a few weeks after the actual day. It's a drag cabaret night that runs monthly in Reading, hosted by Vanilla Fuzion, and this one is billed as a night of fierce performances, haunting looks and drama. The format is cabaret-style, with live singing, dancing and plenty of laughs, and there's a Best Dressed prize on the night, so you can dress up or just come as yourself.
The line-up for this one is a strong mix. Actavia, who appeared on RuPaul's Drag Race UK, is on the bill alongside Roxie Star, Vanilla Fuzion, Just Jayme and Lentil Pulse. It's a queer night run by the performers themselves, and the organisers are open about the behind-the-scenes work, cost and risk that go into independent queer nights like this, and how much they rely on community support to keep them sustainable.
One thing worth knowing is that Kream Cabaret has moved to a new venue. The organisers say Lola Lo brings better production, a bigger atmosphere and improved sound, lighting and drink options, while keeping the ticket price the same. It's described as a welcoming, inclusive and safe space for seasoned drag lovers and first-timers alike, so it's as easy to drop into if you've never been to a drag show before as it is if you're a regular.
