Tallulah's Cabaret has been a mainstay for empowering LGBTQ+ communities in Toronto through a love of theatre, drag performances, dance parties, and other late night events, operating out of Buddies in Bad Times Theatre.

Whether it’s upstaging a drag queen or stealing a go-go dancers platform, a t***k has been there but NOT on Jade’s watch 👊🏼

The stage is for the icons only (but Mackay is so cute and sweet for doing this shoot that he is an icon in our hearts).

This one goes out to all the non-gay guys who feel upstaged by the village meat heads (written by a they guy himself) 🙈

But for real though, let’s the femmes and the qu**rs and the drag queens PERFORM!

Speaking of DRAG QUEENS, before Slur this week we have Scene Stealer, a bespoke drag competition show brought to you by village prodigy MIDAS!

For only $5, admission to Scene Stealer gets you into Slur for NO EXTRA CHARGE! 💸

Come watch some drag and dance the night away 🩷

When? 8 PM for DRAG, 10 PM for DANCE!

🎭 THIS HAUNTED THEATRE OF THE DAMNED IS STRICTLY FOR THE DROP DEAD WHOREGEOUS 🎭

This Halloweekend, we present to you a❗️TWO ROOM MEGA SLUR❗️:

Buddies has been operating as a q***r theatre in the daytime for over 47 years but what happens when the curtain closes and dusk falls? ₊˚🕯️♱‧₊˚.

Do the laughs 🤣 and cries 😭 of the audience continue to echo and rattle the frame of this old building? And does the performance ever really end? ‧₊˚ ☾. ⋅

Let’s dragvestigate these theatre qu**rs and see what they’re up to! Make sure you show up in your best theatrical geish 🩶💚

The theme is: ABANDONED, THEATRICAL & PERFORMANCE.
