Location: Royal Vauxhall Tavern

One Crowned. One Exiled. One Beheaded. Theres no use crying over spilt blood.

Honoured guests and insatiable baying mob: we gather on this night (23rd May), at the historic Royal Vauxhall Tavern, to elect the unelectable, tear down the tyrannical, and glimpse the shadows behind the tattered veil of democracy.

Revel with jesters, kings, barbarians and courtiers of corruption, then drink, dance and be merry (if you can!). Which king will win your allegiance? For whom will you cast your votes to Crown, Exile or Behead? Will any of it matter?

Join us as we twist into existence a fresh tapestry of Medieval chaos drag and impossible power. Hosted by courtly drag jester LEN BLANCO , putting the HEEY in Hey Nonny Nonny since 1309, and featuring Barbarian Oedipussi Rex, and Regal Richard Energy, with more to be announced!

Creator - King Len Blanco

Creative Producer - Molly Beth Morossa

Since you’re here…

… we have a small favour to ask. We don't want your money to support a hack's bar bill at Abattoir, but if you have a pound or two spare, we really encourage you to support a good cause. If this review has either helped you discover a gem or avoid a turkey, consider doing some good that will really make a difference.

You can donate to the charity of your choice, but if you're looking for inspiration, there are three charities we really like.

Show me the charities

Mama Biashara
Kate Copstick’s charity, Mama Biashara, works with the poorest and most marginalised people in Kenya. They give grants to set up small, sustainable businesses that bring financial independence and security. That five quid you spend on a large glass of House White? They can save someone’s life with that. And the money for a pair of Air Jordans? Will take four women and their fifteen children away from a man who is raping them and into a new life with a moneymaking business for Mum and happiness for the kids.

Theatre MAD
The Make A Difference Trust fights HIV & AIDS one stage at a time. Their UK and International grant-making strategy is based on five criteria that raise awareness, educate, and provide care and support for the most vulnerable in society. A host of fundraising events, including Bucket Collections, Late Night Cabarets, West End Eurovision, West End Bares and A West End Christmas continue to raise funds for projects both in the UK and Sub-Saharan Africa.
