5 years ago we jumped tit first into a mad evening of unicorn headpieces, giant disco tinsel monsters, flag waving, UV trees, glowing a**l beads hanging from the ceiling, and sure there was a touch of nudity as well. We didn’t know what we were doing (we still don’t, really) - but forever we have been humbled and are eternally grateful for everyone who has been a part of Q***rtopia. From performers to the audience, it’s a place where we call home.

We never do a structured schedule of shows, we appear when we feel we have a show to do, and whilst we managed to do some online shows throughout lockdown we also got to see some of you again in person at the Black Box in December. But what of the future…?

What we can say for now is that Q***rtopia shall be back…so keep your eyes peeled!

And lest we forget ourselves! The Q***r Phil & Holly of Belfast. Since launching Q***rtopia 5 years ago, we have gone through different acts, protests, shows, venues, slogans, pride breakfasts and breakdowns. But through it all we have loved every second of making something a bit crafty, a bit messy, a bit fabulous and driven by community spirit.

Get your tickets for Q***rtopia’s return to The Black Box THIS SATURDAY! Available via the Black Box website!

OMG IT'S HIM!!!
We smuggled him in!!!!
Snakin' across the border for some genderbent antics, the inglorious b*stard that is Phil T. Gorgeous, is one of Dublin’s most questionable, if not intermittently charming exports.
