The SlayStation Master Ball

"SlayStation turns one and in that time has amassed a cult following, going viral on TikTok multiple times, highlighting the importance of niche safe spaces for nerds - Velvet Caveat, SlayStation founder

My TikTok on the night currently has 963.8K views 😵

SlayStation never stops slaying 😱💅👾 #videogamecabaret #cabaret #drag #dragking #queer #queerlondon #residentevil #ladydimitrescu #videogameburlesque #halloween #videogames #silenthill #pyramidhead #bayonetta #fivenightsatfreddy #littlenightmares #slenderman

I used to run a video game themed burlesque event called Show me your moves! back in 2016 and it fills me with great joy to celebrate Velvet spearheading London's queer video game drag and cabaret scene with SlayStation. January 21st will be Velvet's biggest show to date with headlining acts Kim Chi from season 8 and Dakota Schiffer from the latest UK Drag Race! Co-hosted by the legendary Drag King Loose Willis, performances from Miss Terri Box - who is truly phenomenal. There will be interactive games, a Pokemon themed costume competition and prizes! I remember how bloody tough it was producing and promoting my own night. Not everyone got it, but for those that do... The community created around this night is really powerful and I want to see it continue to grow.

Please share and support SlayStation anyway you can 💚

🕹 The Pokemon Master Ball ✨ January 21 at Clapham Grand, London UK, SW11 1TT Tickets and more info is here: https://lnkd.in/eQCvataY

Competent cyclist, author of multiple cycling books and articles here on Casquette. Emily Chappell started out as a courier in London (winning Courier of the Year in 2010), and after attempting the Transcontinental Race in 2015 and failing, she carried on to win it the year after.

Her new book: Where There’s a Will: Hope, Grief and Endurance in a Cycle Race Across a Continent expertly captures her personal struggle achieving this victory.

In this 1 hour 10 interview, you’ll hear a beautiful excerpt from the book read by Emily Chappell herself. It honestly gave us chills, it’s an amazing audio experience. We chat politics, periods and death. Discover her unusual advice on how you too could win a self supported bike race across Europe with an “invisible peloton”.

Ever wondered what Bomberman’s got going on under there? If Sonic’s spikes might tickle a bit? Or how much Peach that Princess is really packing?! Then, Bow-wow-wowzer, have we got the show for you!

We represent a group of deeply diverse, body positive, multi-gender, whatever-the-hell-you-want-sexuality performers and we encourage you to take part in our silly, sexy and totally inclusive, one-of-a-kind experience: 

Show Me Your Moves! Video Game Burlesque. Thursday 11th April, doors 8:30pm. Looking Glass Cocktail Club, London E2 7NX Tickets available here: https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/nerdlesque-show-me-your-moves-tickets-58639809248

Unplug from the everyday and take a break from the solitude of screen time. With our light-hearted combination of sleaze, striptease, cabaret and interactive games, we promise you’ll be anything but bored.

Let us take you to another level with this unpixilated exposé of familiar video game characters as you’ve never seen them before. It’s a tongue-in-cheek turn-on; an unpredictable, graphically in-the-flesh adventure; a topsy-turvy look at our most intimate 8-bits… a show which brings gaming fantasies to life, but probably not in the way you’d expect!

Get there early and get your hands on some classic retro consoles before the show starts – original Nintendo, Sega, Playstation and Xbox, all provided by Joypad. Line up TBA soon!

It’s a show about bicycles and the people that ride them. This episode features two goofs, one studio.

Join us for another #Popcast where we interview our dads (#dadcast?), Jenni gives another #maintenancetipofthepod, and I’m angry there's no women's #tourdefrance so we’re putting on a panel about it at Look mum no hands!

Pro Women's Racing Panel: How far do you want to go?

Pro women’s cycling is thrilling and we want more, but the movers and shakers of the cycling world don’t seem to agree.

ASO's Director of Races Thierry Gouvenou doesn’t think there is a real demand for a women’s Paris Roubaix, despite admitting he hasn’t spoken to any female riders personally or directly…

Tour de France organiser Christian Prudhomme announced a women’s Tour de France is IMPOSSIBLE, but we know it used to happen in the 50s and 60s….

Join us for a debate on the future of pro women’s cycling.

What’s stopping us riding further? Who are the movers and shakers taking things forward? What would a women's Grand Tour actually look like?

Our panel (curated by cyclist Ella Green) features ex / pro racers, doctors, amateur and experienced long distance riders.

~ The Panel ~

Emily Chappell - Le Loop Lead Cyclist and author

Molly Weaver - Former professional cyclist turned pundit and commentator

Fran Cutts - Amateur cyclist for Team LDN

Dr Fiona Struthers - Le Loop Team Doctor

Abbie Dentus - Rider for Brother UK / Team OnForm

Date: Tuesday 26th February from 6:30pm. Location: Look mum no hands! 49 Old St. EC1V 9HX RSVP: https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/pro-womens-racing-how-far-do-you-want-to-go-tickets-55410390971

*PLEASE NOTE* We are asking for a suggested donation of £10.00 on door.

All funds raised will go to the William Wates Memorial Trust, supporting projects that help disadvantaged young people fulfil their potential and stay away from a life of crime.

Can’t make it?

We'll stream the panel LIVE on the Look mum no hands! facebook page, plus an audio recording will be available via the Wheel Suckers Podcast after the event.

Are you ready for a wild ride? Ishbel Holmes used to be a track cyclist, but she packed it all in to cycle the world. Lee Craigie told us she was in the UK and we couldn't let her leave until we'd interviewed her. Ishbel champions that ANYONE can ride a bike and explore the world. If that doesn’t move you, she also rescues injured animals by bike. She’s published a book about her life: Me, My bike and street dog named Lucy - and watch out, there will be a feature film (!) about her adventures real soon.

What is video game burlesque???? Square Vision created this video capturing our most recent night and interviewed me about what the hell that is and why.   I’m so proud of this show and it’s development since I decided to pursue this idea in 2016. "We started at the bottom now we’re here” and I do genuinely feel like I’ve created a community of people who get this silly thing.
