Brighton's Big Drag Pageant: On Ice at the Royal Pavilion ice rink

Making its Brighton Dome debut in the Concert Hall on Wed 4 Dec, Brighton's Big Drag Pageant: On Ice has a lineup of the coolest and campest contestants, some of which took to the Royal Pavilion ice rink - let us introduce you to...

 

 

 

...your host, Brighton's award-winning drag icon Alfie Ordinary, who will be joined by 10 legendary guests competing with fabulous performances on the Brighton Dome stage.

 

 

 

First, we have Gem the Clown. Having finished in the top 10 five years in a row, top 5 twice and runner-up at last year's pageant, Gem is true Brighton's Big Drag Pageant royalty. Will they make it this time?

 

 

 

Next, we have Tayris Mongardi, Brighton's Big Drag Pageant 2021 winner, who will be raising the temperature this December...

 

 

 

...and Bertie Hodd brings cheeky character, Dad, back to the stage after last year's pageant win. They'll be doing their darndest to bring that crown home once more!

 

 

 

Next, The Miss Disney answers all our wishes upon stars and will be thawing hearts with her dreamy vocals and fairy-tale storytelling, but...

 

 

 

...hold on to your crowns, because the one and only Ex-Girlfriend, winner of Brighton's Big Drag Pageant 2024, is looking for a crown in each hand this festive season!

 

 

 

Or, will Ophelia Payne, Brighton's ultimate Mother of the cabaret scene, walk away with more than everyone's hearts at this winter's pageant?

 

 

 

Loveable monster maker and 2018 pageant winner, Arran Shurvinton, will be sinking their teeth into Christmassy campness...

 

 

 

...but will the multi-faceted Smashlyn Monroe smash the competition to reign victorious?

Find out on 4 Dec! Dress code is white faux fur, ice queens, snow kings, queers & dears, winter glamour and ice skating... Please note, this is not an ice skating event.
