Get Qweird Stage

Introducing clown-mother of The House of Savalon, Astro-Zenica! Their performances are playful, absurd, heartfelt and hilarious. Expect spoken word poetry, live singing, plenty of games and heaps of chaos as they take audiences on a journey filled with lots of love and lots of giggles.

House of Savalon bring it all for this special opening performance for the stage.

Ettaboy is the ultimate drag shapeshifter: Unrecognisable in almost every act, they’re bound to keeping you guessing as they go from king to queen to thing to clown. A triple threat who can sing, lay an egg, and act.

A small, grubby creature from the forest who heard the call of the bright lights of the city, Tomboy left his woodland with naught but a cigarette and a strange obsession with phalluses. Since then, he has become a bright-eyed rock n roller leaving a string of broken hearts in his wake. Tomboy is surreal, silly and sexy – stand back ladies, there’s only one of him!

BLXNDIE is half of the big bad blotchy Busy Patrol with Roux. She is a Bristol based, trans-femme experimental multimedia radical performance artist, poet and theatre maker. 

She’s a trash kink neuroqueervergent kleptomaniWAHCKKKK. She finds beauty in the bin, and when she feels ugly she mashes her face up even more, and it’s a look.

ROUX, the Gender Criminal, is 0.5 of the anti-glamour gremlins BÜSSY PATROL, Bristol’s most dynamic drag duo.

Roux is a saucy, hyper pop aerial faerie PRINX who always wanted to run away to the circus… UNTIL THEY BECAME ONE.

Persian Quing of The House of Savalon here to serve you a magnificent serving of iconic, fat, queer, non-binary hotness!

They can sing, dance, pose the house down, there simply isn’t a party without them!

Elektra Duboir is a dancer, singer and theatre maker, specialising in grotesque burlesque. The auntie and choreographer of The House of Savalon, expect some show stopping moments on the Bristol Pride stage.

Ever wondered about the unrequited love of an alarm clock? Or where the moon got her dark side?
Through drag, song, comedy(?) and attempted dancing – David Puck objectifies themselves so you don’t have to.

A shapeshifting sensation that will cast you into a trance of euphoria with her divine energy. No one can ever guess what is up Mis Fortune’s sleeve when she steps on the stage and she never shy’s away from telling her story with her performance!”

A fierce queen from China. Serving glam oriental beauty she’s inspired by the best both Asia and the West has to offer. As an Asian queen she’s using drag to embrace what’s forbidden in her homeland and she’s here to celebrate her sexuality, her culture and her freedom.

Hauling her limbs across the mire to join you today, Florence Squelch offers you sopping handfuls of camp fun and facial expressions. Accept these gifts, wipe your hands on a clean serviette and enjoy the show.

A celebration of the trans and non-binary community at the heart of the Get Qweird residency, the choir share a message of love and support in recognition of the power, beauty and pride in finding and co-creating Queer chosen family.

Freddie Lewis is a songwriter, poet and performer based in Bristol. Their work is defined by thoughtful and playful lyricism, catchy hook melodies, and nuanced accounts of emotion.

Brook Tate & The Band with Guest Star, Debra The Zebra! With original music likened to Stevie Wonder and Joni Mitchell, alongside a whale, a paintbrush and a pair of tap shoes, Brook Tate, Debra The Zebra and their band will be giving a show to remember at Bristol Pride!

Joining us on the Get Qweird Stage is one of Bristol’s most exciting artists, the fabulous Try Me!

With a jig in their step their high energy songs will wiggle into your ears as we dance the day away on Pride Day.

Melding together elements of punk-infused dancehall, jungle, bass and pop. Grove’s noise concoctions come from the ‘feminine’ and ‘masculine’ energies that reside within, filtering them through a sensuous & rave-centric lens, with lyrics inspired by political angst and queer euphoria.

Bringing sounds from Africa, Asia and South America the band brings an exciting flavour of uplifting underground dance music from far flung places, keeping your feet moving, faces smiling and wondering what will they play next? Bea’s joined by Zarha O’Shea (singer), Lydia Fargo Pearce (singer), Djintoku (synth), Mook (percussion).
