Drag works on a stag do because it plays with the thing every groom fears: being the centre of attention in the wrong costume. The best acts are confident, funny and never mean.
What we offer
- The drag stitch-upThe stag is told it is a regular show. A drag queen walks in, picks him from the group and performs a short, cheeky act.
- The surprise guestA performer joins the group at a restaurant or bar as a "long-lost cousin" or a waiter.
- The drag hostA queen runs your bar crawl, with games, lip-sync rounds and forfeits.
- The drag crashA performer joins an unrelated event, such as your dinner, and takes over the room. See our drag crash guide for the DIY version.
A short example evening
Drinks
The group meets for a pre-drink, with the host nearby but not yet introduced.
The reveal
The queen arrives, introduces herself and takes the stag by the hand.
The act
A lip-sync, a mock interview or a "make-over" with the groom as the model.
The party
The performer stays for photos and drinks, then the group moves on.
Keeping it fun for everyone
- Laughing with, never atThe jokes are about the situation, not about drag or anyone's identity.
- Consent for contactNo touching without agreement.
- Know your groupIf someone in the group may react badly, talk to us before booking.
- Respect the performerTips and applause are welcome. Heckling is not.
Tip: drag queens are performers first. Treat them like the headline act and the evening goes better.
