About Big Gay Afterparty
RGB Monster
Queer, chic and outrageous: you're invited to the biggest, gayest party at the Fringe (fun straights allowed). The award-winning show makes its return this year for two nights only, daring you to indulge in the hottest pop-up cabaret experience on Cowgate.
Curated by 'demonic David Bowie' Aidan Sadler, a selection of the most electrifying and scandalous performers at the festival awaits. 'The acts slay until the break of day, and you're invited right into the heart of this soulfully compiled and radically offbeat cabaret experience' ***** (BingeFringe.com).
