Patti Boo Rae
Patti Boo Rae is the rootinest tootinest cowgirl east of the Atlantic; the Northeast’s premiere southern songstress; the Annie Oakley of drag. Since 2022, Patti has been dazzling audiences with her vocals and unique brand of cuntry-western cabaret. No two Patti shows are alike, but one thing’s for sure: you’re in for a wild ride. 

Tito Bone
Tito Bone is your average blind, non-binary, bisexual drag king who just wants you to smell the world through their nose, ya know? They are a true triple threat: they sing, dad dance, and audio describe, all while wearing large amounts of eco glitter. Tito’s mission is simple: to entertain the masses through socratic irony, political satire and taking their clothes off for strangers in the name of intersectional feminism. They also strive to prove that making accessible art is the epitome of cool. Tito Bone shares a body with Amelia Lander-Cavallo, a multi-disciplinary artist and one half of Quiplash (@quiplashlondon) – a queer, crip (quip) performance project that is taking space for Deaf and disabled people across the LGBTQQIA+ spectrum.
