Welcome to The Quota Cabaret! A drag, burlesque and circus extravaganza that celebrates and champions the under-represented. Expect stellar line-ups of bombastic box-tickers, tantalising tokens and delectable diversity, as we put the positive in discrimination.
Here at The Quota, we’re ready to tick all your boxes with an incredible cast of drag, burlesque and cabaret superstars!
Hosted by beacons of diversity and “Quota Couple” Lilly SnatchDragon (award-winning Asian Drag Queen and Burlesque Performer, co-founder of LADS and The Bitten Peach) and Mark Anthony (award-winning trans Drag King and Boylesque Performer, Mr Boylesque UK), following sell-out shows in London and Manchester.
