READING Drag royalty Big Jay is celebrating the first anniversary of their drag with a show at Bar 77 on Saturday, September 17.

In just their first year of performing, Big Jay has taken up a residence at the venue at which they regularly host Reading’s Got Drag, as well as a number of other shows.

They performed at Reading Pride Festival, and co-hosted Reading’s first Trans Pride after-party on Saturday, September 3.

They will be joined by fellow Reading Pride performer Grace Anatomy, and fellow Trans Pride after-party performer Sheer Obsession.

The line-up will be rounded out by Xena Morph, Cairo Ali, and Lujane Oud, along with guest appearances by Duac, Anita Oui, and Mess-Her Morgan.

Big Jay said: “Bar 77 is more than just a lovely bar in the basement of a classic pub, it’s a place that welcomes everyone, and that is thanks to the hard-working, open-minded, and super-friendly staff.

“I have massive gratitude for Corey, for the opportunities he’s given me, the Reading drag scene, and the LGBTQIA+ community.

“I’m proud to be the resident drag artist there – here’s to another year, and many more.”

Bar manager at Bar 77, Corey Meadows, said: “It’s been a journey of diversity, drag, jam, student nights, DJs, cocktails, comedy, and more drag.

“We’ve given a platform to local musicians and performers, and we’re excited for what Bar 77’s second year brings.”

Big Jay’s Drag Anniversary Show will take place at Bar 77, downstairs in The Outlook, King’s Road, from 8pm on Saturday, September 17.

Please note that the event is billed as 18+, and tickets begin at £8.
