This is no ordinary drag show, this is HOUSE. OF. RAPTOR! Yes, that’s right, we are back, back, back again!

After the Glasgow Raptors RFC bumper, packed show in 2023, they return in June 2024 to slay the runway and leave you all gooped and gagged with their sickening performances. We are back at Slay, with a bigger lineup of fierce drag talent, a later finish time to allow you to soak up all of our fierce drag talent, and some extra special surprises thrown in for your viewing pleasure!

Watch our rugby players swap their studs for stilettoes and their scrums for sequins with performances showcasing their best comedy, dance, glam and fashion; all in aid of raising funds to develop our wonderful club and fabulous players.

The doors will open at 7 pm The show starts around 8 pm and will run until just before midnight.

Then, our drag after-dark party starts which runs from midnight until 3 am. This year we’re giving you the opportunity to meet all the Queens after the show and dance the night away with them.

We hope you will join us in celebrating a night of LGBTQ+ excellence.
