MAY THE FIERCE BE WITH YOU - EPISODE II

A DRAG AND CABARET CELEBRATION OF STAR WARS AT THE RVT

The force is strong in our queer family

Following last year's opening episode, we are thrilled to confirm that the rebel scum are back for more Star Wars nonsense at The RVT on Star Wars Day, Thursday 4th May.

From Alderaan to Mandalore and across the Outer Rim, May 4th is a day of celebration for every species in the Galaxy. It's Star Wars Day and once again this year the great, the good and the totally gorgeous of the LGBTQ+ galactic cabaret scene are joining forces at our very own Imperial Palace, The Royal Vauxhall Tavern to raise money for every Jedi's favourite charity, Cabaret vs Cancer.

A stellar line-up of drag and cabaret stars bringing us a selection of Star Wars themed performances that include all your favourite heroes and villains.

Hosted by our own Jedi Master, Reece Connolly, the show includes, Me the Drag Queen, Lilly Snatchdragon, Carrot, YShee Black, Oedipussi Rex, Mark Anthony and Benjamin Louche.

Doors at 7pm, show from 8pm.

Cabaret vs Cancer is an independent charity set up in 2014 by performer Rose Thorne, it raises money to help families especially children cope with the effects of cancer. Star Wars Day, May 4th is also the date for the launch of the 2023 Cabaret vs Cancer Sci Fi and Fantasy auction. Money from ticket sales will be split between the artists performing on the night and the charity. There will raffles and collections on the night with Star Wars prizes.

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.
