Drag Bus has become a staple part of the drag landscape across the UK, but as we're growing we're also looking back at what made us fall in love with drag in the first place!
This series of buses is intended to honour and celebrate the people who have defined drag performance in the UK. Drag isn't about sticking on a wig and proclaiming an arrival, its about artistry, creativity and skill.
The drag artistes in this series quite simply need no introduction.
Dave Lynn will be kicking off your Brighton Pride weekend in style on the Friday evening with this ICON Drag Bus from 7-9 pm followed by a fabulous show in Affinity Bar Brighton at 9 pm. We'll drop you off at the bar to go straight into the show.
Kevin, Drag Bus owner loves the history behind drag, and was hooked from the first show he saw at The Black Cap in Camden over 30 years ago.....a certain Dave Lynn who he adores to this day and who's part of the Drag Bus family.
He's personally put together this series of events to celebrate what he classes as "the greatest living examples of the greatest art-form I know". Getting this series of events together was a labour of love for him.
Join our two-hour sightseeing trip where you'll be guided across the city by Dave Lynn icon. The ticket includes your two-hour sightseeing tour, all the fun and games you’d expect from a fabulous drag icon plus some memorable songs and performances, half a bottle of prosecco per passenger and complimentary snacks served at your table on the bus.
You can also order further drinks in advance from our bar menu. Due to strict licensing laws on public transport, all alcohol must be purchased in advance to be served chilled to your seats during the tour. Our licence does not allow passengers to bring their own alcohol onboard. You’ll be emailed your order form in advance of the journey.
Come and experience one of the most unique, funny and fabulous days out you could ever imagine! Be part of the Drag Bus family and make memories you’ll never forget in the presence of a drag icon!
