🖤🍒The Black Cherry Sideshow🍒🖤

For the last two years, Black Cherry has been revolutionizing the New York City sideshow scene, while inspiring drag artists all over the 5 boroughs to join us in this radical uprising of putting Trans and BIPOC bodies to the forefront of sideshow culture. Black Cherry Sideshow has truly changed the game for good, and now it is TIME to celebrate TWO YEARS of sideshow drag show feats that stretch beyond the human limit. Join @Selena.Surreal , @XaddyAddy , and @Klondyke_drag , celebrating HISTORY as the only all BIPOC, all Trans Sideshow Troupe in the world with a show that will encompass our manifesto: making unapologetically queer, trans, and Black radical sideshow drag by any means necessary. Along with displaying this manifesto on stage, we will also be dropping limited edition copies of our 1st photo zine: THE BLACK CHERRY SIDESHOW MANIFESTO. Aside from The Cherries, we will be joined by LEGENDARY special guests: Switch & Play's very own, @NyxNocturne and THEE Sideshow Icon, @Lola.Strange ! Pop your Cherry and your booties with the sick beats of Xana 101 for our pre-show and afterparty, as well as indulge in flash tattoos by @levy.ink , trippy delights by @loveandlivewellnessllc , Black Cherry Sideshow merch, and our BIGGEST raffle yet!

"Sideshow has saved me in many ways. It has bolstered my confidence in my ability to endure, to slow down, to challenge myself and so much more. On top of that, it is a process of reclamation. Too long has pain been inflicted of my personal body from within and without. Generational trauma lives in my skin and burrows deep. But with sideshow, I am the one who decides. No one but me or someone I choose brandishes the skewer, the staple gun, the animal trap." - @klondyke_drag in the new zine "The Black Cherry Sideshow Manifesto" dropping 6/4 THE BLACK CHERRY SIDESHOW MANIFESTO VOL. 2 THURSDAY JUNE 4TH AT @purgatory.bk 7PM PRE-SHOW PARTY // 9PM SHOWS TICKETS: $25 ONLINE (LINK IN BIO) & AT DOOR STARRING: @klondyke_drag @selena.surreal @xaddyaddy W/ SPECIAL GUESTS: @nyxnocturne @lola.strange DJ: @xana.10101 TATTOOS BY @its_anomalee VENDORS: @loveandlivewellnessllc & BLACK CHERRY SIDESHOW MERCH 📸: @zacrilegious
