About the event

We're excited to announce Westminster Q+ network's fifth Open miQ+ night, co-hosted with the University of Westminster's Students' Union and Thirsty Thursdays in the Hideaway at Regent Campus!

Once again, the evening will be hosted by celebrated drag king Don One. This is an opportunity to come along and share your creativity, uniqueness, nerve and talent on stage, or just sit back and watch the spectacle if you prefer. You don't have to be LGBTQ+, but it helps if you're an ally!

Doors open at 5:30pm with a chance to mingle and have some refreshments. Music will then kick off from 6:30pm onwards. 

If you would like to perform in any way please email [email protected] and we will put your name down. You can also sign up on the night. 

If you would like to perform with a backing track then please bring your backing track as an mp3 on a USB stick on the day or email these to us directly in advance.

This will be a friendly and inclusive night bringing together the University of Westminster LGBTQ+ community and allies from beyond for an evening of fun entertainment. 

During the evening we will also be focusing on the themes of LGBTQ+ History month including activism and social justice and will have a message board corner where attendees can share messages of support and joy with each other. This will be the perfect warm up to National Student Pride running 28 Feb – 1 March.
