Battle of the Bros: Drag King Competition
Edinburgh's only all king show brings you a very exciting first - a competition at Leith Arches on 12th & 19th November!
About Battle of the Bros: Drag King Competition
Move over drag race, it's time for some King action. Since we follow the Bro Code, all competitors will get paid. Each category is independent, there won't be rounds. We want to crown kings according to what they shine in, whether that's selling us on their masculinity, wowing us with their pipes, serving custom couture or getting us guffawing.
Nov 12th // Categories: Butch Realness, Live Singing // Guest judge Butch Cashidy

Timings:
Doors at 7, show starts 7.45, ends approx 10.30 (with 20 min interval).
Tickets:
Tickets available on the door, £9.
Advance tickets are priced on a sliding scale, if you can afford to pay more that helps us to pay our performers better for their hard work and to subsidise our financial hardship tickets.
If you have any questions about tickets or access, including being issued a free carer ticket or if our allocation of financial hardship tickets has sold out and you need one, please message us here on Outsavvy or on our Instagram @brocode.drag.
Accessibility:
There is seating but this is unassigned. If you have specific needs, such as wheelchair or standing space, or reserved seats at the front or on the end of a row, you can get in touch in advance but this is not required, just make your needs known on the door and we will do our best to accommodate.
The venue is wheelchair accessible with an accessible toilet.
We provide free carer tickets and service animals (who will be ok with the light, noise and crowd) are of course welcome.
There is no official quiet space but there is a corridor which serves as an informal one, just message or ask on the door for details. If you would like to watch the show from a quieter vantage point and can do stairs, we can arrange for you to sit with the performers on the mezzanine.
Where possible we will update our listings to notify of cancelled, postponed and rescheduled events, however we STRONGLY ADVISE that you check with the venue/organiser in the first instance for updates.
All information (whether in text or photographs) is supplied in good faith but should not be relied upon as being a statement of representation or fact.GOT AN EVENT TO SHARE? It's free to post your events on What's On Edinburgh, click here to find out more!
