Who needs a new safe space? I DO!
Welcome to my new East London Cabaret, Slumber Party, where music is celebrated and make-up is discouraged. Come equipped with your comfiest PJ's and your cosiest vibes, because this one is about finding community and retreat from a world that is increasingly focussed on our outsides instead of recognising our inner beauty.
Though the evening will be handled with gentleness, I still want to play you my new EP which is packed with HYPER-POP, dreamy vocals and BANGERS to get you dancing and raising a drink in the air. I have a fully trans+ lineup to accompany me, so you're in for a queer treat.
I can't wait to see you all there!
