Inclusive And Accessible Cabaret And Drag Shows
Nominated in the 2024 Scottish Drag Awards for Best Producer and Best Show (King & Caboodle Cabaret), Shut Up & King shows are pro trans rights, age, disability, sex and body positive and prioritise showcasing the artistry of queer performers, performers of colour, performers with disabilities, performers over 40 and performers who are negatively affected by the Patriarchy!
From our first online digital drag show produced during Lockdown 2020, to our regular drag king cabaret, and record-breaking extravaganzas like our ‘Scotland’s New Kings On The Block’ showcase, our frequently sold-out shows have proven that not only do people want to see drag kings perform, they will pay to see drag king perform.
Many of our shows are on the Shut Up and King YouTube channel where you can find both captioned and audio described versions. Below is a selection of some of our favourite shows.
