The Ultimate Drag ShowDown! LIVE: Netflix’s GLOW meets RuPaul’s Drag Race in London
Wrestling has been around for decades and in dire need of a serious makeover. Who better to glam up this ageing art form and death drop its dated toxic masculinity to the floor than a legendary team of the best iconic drag performers the UK has to offer. No tea, no shade but Drag is taking over the mother tucking universe. This November, the time has come to feel your fantasy; welcome to… The Ultimate Drag ShowDown! LIVE, in partnership with Chappy, the gay social connection app for men.
In a world first, Rhonda presents this one-off spectacle featuring an all-star cast of legends werking the ring for the title of greatest drag performer!
The Clapham Grand in London, the palace of modern variety, is currently home to British boxing and British drag. Rhonda, taking inspiration from WWE, SmackDown, Netflix’s Glow and RuPaul’s Drag Race, has fused together a night of rumbling entertainment, bringing you the fiercest ShowDown you’ve ever seen. Drag is not a contact sport, this is a battle of lip-syncing reading, slaying, rapping, vogueing, beatboxing and death dropping in a tournament for the gods.
The stage has been dismantled and a resplendent boxing ring has taken its place, under the largest mirrorball London has to offer. Commanding the arena of drag dreams fresh from America’s Got Talent, is none-other than the critically acclaimed glam monster, GingZilla. Under a tinted lash and her brassy beard, GingZilla, mistress of ceremonies is joined by host of RuPaul’s DragCon 2020, comedian and television presenter Stephan Bailey, both keeping a watchful side eye, making sure no one is punching below the corset.
It’s 2019 and drag is no longer a man in a dress, unless that’s how you wish to identify. Rhonda has assembled a collection of all-star contenders, Kings, Queens, Gender F***, AFAB Queens and many more to compete for the Ultimate Drag ShowDown title.
Who will be the first to take home the coveted Heels of Glory featherweight belt?
Join London’s leading King Adam All, Legendary Queen of the surreal and bizarre Meth, Iconic Soho & NYC performer Cookie Monster, Host of Pride in London and man in a dress Michael Twaits; Neo Drag Queen Burlesque Performer Lilly SnatchDragon, Reigning Lipsync1000 Queen and QX cabaret Award winner Rhys’s Pieces, Cabaret Clown Carrot and ingenue drag child Vanity Milan together for one night only.
On the night of the show, a lucky raffle winner will receive a pair of customised boxing gloves on behalf of Chappy. Those interested in entering the raffle must show their Chappy profile at the Chappy stand to enter. Additionally, Chappy and Gayming Magazine will provide custom-made dressing gowns for cast members and complementary bags of merchandise to VIP attendees.

So flame your fan, clock that wig and beat your mug as these fabulous drag gladiators give life to take home this ultimate title and win the gag worthy Heels of Glory. Watch them read, rap, roast, beatbox, vogue and lip-synch for their life in the shadiest Kiki the world has ever seen…
