Man Up! Drag King Contest Grand Final

After eight weeks of electrifying heats in which over 100 acts have graced the tiny stage of Haggerston queer boozer The Glory, London drag king talent show Man Up is once again heading south of the river for its 2023 Grand Finale at the Clapham Grand. Man about town Don One and Chiyo, Prinx of Provocation, will be playing hosts to the epic final showdown of Europe’s biggest drag king contest, which promises three hours of chest-binding, lip-syncing, strip-teasing artistry from the 16 finalists, before an expert panel of judges crowns the winning king, who gets to take home. Acts start at 8pm sharp, and a post-show disco will keep the party going until midnight. Hallelujah, it’s reigning men.
