MEET THE PERFORMERS: Midgitte Bardot 🎤
Midgitte Bardot drags time, tongues, wigs, their face and their heels. They’re a speech writer and giver and only ever punch up.
They’re a song singer and a fib teller. Addressing themes of power dynamics, absurdist social-commentary, maybe the pressing issue of small dogs playing with big dogs. Life won’t be the same after you’ve huffed her essence.
We are delighted to welcome Midgitte Bardot to this year’s Extravaganza.
Comedian. Musician. Britain’s Got Talent finalist. Professional chaos merchant.
Robert White blends musical comedy with razor-sharp humour and unapologetic autistic brilliance. Whether he’s writing songs, touring or talking about autism, he brings intelligence and absurdity in equal measure.
We are delighted to welcome Robert White to this year’s Extravaganza.
Alexandria St Payne brings burlesque heat with bold glamour, confidence and island fire. With every tease and every turn, she commands the stage and invites you to lean in.
Aerial Mel Stevens is a deaf, disabled, q***r, non-binary, BIPOC aerial artist, rigger and accessibility consultant. Founder of Aim to Fly UK, Mel has spent decades reshaping aerial arts to be more inclusive, more radical and more accessible.
From performing with Graeae to leading accessible aerial training across the UK, Mel doesn’t just take up space in the air. They transform it.
We cannot wait to welcome Aerial Mel to The Q***r Disabled Extravaganza at Hoxton Hall on 21 March 2026.
Award-winning drag artist, activist and speaker Son of a Tutu will be guiding us through the night as Host of The Q***r Disabled Extravaganza.

In April 2018, a team motivated to change the experience and conversation surrounding people with physical, sensory and mental impairments in the LGBTQ community, joined forces to explore the potential of a new organisation, focused on this issue.
The team initially planned to create a Pride festival for LGBTQ people with physical, sensory and mental impairments in London. However, the scope quickly evolved and they quickly realised the need for a new platform to enhance the overall social experience of this community. This is when ParaPride was born.
People with physical, sensory and mental impairments are particularly vulnerable to the effects of homophobia and transphobia and are frequently the victims of harassment, abuse and violence. This is an incredibly isolating experience and existence.
ParaPride recognises, at its heart, that all members of the LGBTQ community need to be enabled to participate in order to help to combat these effects, as well as to combat the social exclusion that surrounds being labelled as disabled more generally.
ParaPride believes that everyone is entitled to engage with the LGBTQ community, to build relationships, have fun and feel included in the activities presented to it.
People with physical, sensory and mental impairments have been unintentionally excluded from the LGBTQ experience for too long.
This needs to change and we are the ones who intend to change it.
