This extensive season of smaller LGBTQ+ cultural events, supporting LGBTQ+ artists and the wider community, will feature a glittering array of show-stopping cabaret, comedy, theatre, dance, film, activism and politics, live from the **Ironworks Studios** in central Brighton. The two-month fiesta promises to be a fantastical, fun and cultural extravaganza with an event for everyone.

Kicking off with a **Gala Launch Night** of cabaret, drag and live music hosted by **Felix le Freak**, the stage is set for upcoming performances from the likes of **Duncan James**, former **Blue** member; **Hannah Brackenbury’s *Victorious***, the award winning musical comedy tribute to Victoria Wood; London-based electro pop-persona **Girli**; the UK’s only gender-diverse pan-Asian cabaret collective, **Bitten Peach**; an evening with LGBTQ+ icon **Heather Peace**; award-winning musical cabaret from **Epicene,** celebrating iconic women in music; the gloriously bonkers, utterly over-the-top, delightful **LipSinkers**; the award-winning LGBTQ+ one man show **Bottom** from **Willy Hudson;**  local Brighton hero **Boogaloo Stu** with his Big Quiffy Bingo; and much, much more.

**Paul Kemp**, director of Brighton & Hove Pride said, *“Although we’ve not been able to deliver our main Pride events for the last two years we are thrilled to be able to adapt to present a local cultural programme that can bring our communities together as well as supporting local LGBTQ+ organisations and community groups who do such essential work all year round.*

“We are delighted that Pride at the Ironworks will allow us to continue our fundraising efforts by ensuring that every ticket sold will include a charitable donation to the Brighton Rainbow Fund.”

Brighton & Hove Pride has raised almost one million pounds for local LGBTQ+ and HIV charities, community groups, social impact organisations and cultural activities in Brighton & Hove, helping to make a difference to the lives of hundreds of people in our communities.

To make the cultural programme accessible to all members of the community, Pride will be offering a number of discounted tickets for every performance.
