Join your hosts Rabbie Burnt and the Dashing White Sergeant for a fiery evening of cabaret and spoken word performances, with special guest, the award-winning Scottish-Algerian poet, Janette Ayachi. Expect romantic laddies, bawdy bards, and merry muses as we explore the works of Robert Burns beyond his lifetime. Janette will be performing poetry from her brand new collection, Quick Fire, Slow Burning, which explores fire both as an element and as a sensuous and bodily fuel. Rabbie Burnt, a drag king brought up on the banks of the River Doon, along with the Dashing White Sergeant and André Universe will be delving into the various facets of Burns’ masculinity in a queer consideration of his work, and the bard as a drag trope. Gather at the embers of the fire for a night of poetry, play, and provocations.
Featuring performances from:
Janette Ayachi
Rabbie Burnt – Saint Abbs
The Dashing White Sergeant — Dom Perignon
Drag king and DJ — André Universe
