18+ queer and goth club night celebrating five years of Cryptid Queers, headlined by drag queen Black Peppa with Xena Morph and resident DJs.
Cryptid Queers are back at FORGE Warehouse on Saturday 21 November, marking five years of the project. It's a club night that celebrates the city's monster drag community, and this one is a big anniversary. The night is hosted by King Confuza, who built Cryptid Queers from the ground up here in Sheffield — it's already picked up the Sheffield Arts & Culture Award. He describes it as a love letter to drag monsters, bringing together alternative artists from emerging creatures to established Supermonsters, and it runs as a not-for-profit queer and goth safer space.
Headlining is Black Peppa, the Birmingham drag queen and RuPaul's Drag Race UK Season 4 finalist who earned a reputation as the season's lipsync assassin. She's a returning face, having appeared at Cryptid Queers Fest '26 earlier in the year. Joining her is Xena Morph, the Crowned Cryptid 2026 winner, alongside other up-and-coming UK drag talent and some of the heavy hitters of the UK monster scene. There are two shows on the night: the first floor show starts at 10pm, followed by the second floor show at 11.30pm. If you're keen, there's a Black Peppa Meet & Greet add-on available too.
Beyond the stage, the night spreads across two rooms of music driven by resident DJs Gilly Woo, Kohl and L8N, with an alt/queer market running alongside. The whole thing operates as a R.O.A.R event, and it's 18+.
