BARBS!!!!
is genuinely one of our favourite humans and we are VERY lucky to have her hosting QHP Day & Night.
A barb is a sharp, backward-facing point on a hook or arrow that makes it difficult to extract. Figuratively, it refers to a cutting, critical, or unkind remark…
The OG boycott queen. Takes absolutely no shite whilst simultaneously caring deeply about people and community in a way that very few people can.
Hilarious, adored by all, drag that somehow manages to be chaos and perfection at the same time - using absurdity to make you laugh, think and occasionally question reality. One of those people who can hold a room before they’ve even opened their mouth (usually by falling down a flight of stairs).
QHP is this Saturday 🚨 and Barbs will be joining on hosting duties!!
Tlckets on outsavvy etc x
This June, we’re serving up a very un-serious quiz night at The Standard, London. Expect drag-fuelled chaos, outrageous rounds, questionable general knowledge and at least one person taking it all far too seriously. Hosted by the fabulous, naturally.
Gather your cleverest (or loudest) friends, order another round and prepare to fight for glory. Or just come for the vibes. Tickets are available via the link in bio, including a complimentary drink on arrival, and a portion of proceeds going to.
And because we never stop at just one party, if you can’t make quiz night, head up to The Rooftop for Sunday High Pride Edition
