THE DRAG domination of Reading is set to continue as a regular event returns.

Anita Oui’s Suspenders is back at The Rising Sun Arts Centre, and this time it’s celebrating the art-pop monolith Lady Gaga.

The grassroots, DIY night of queer performance art sees acts hand-picked by the host, Anita Oui, for a curated, themed night.

She will be joined by the consummate Cairo Ali, Oxford-based Sera Tonin, and the inimitable Brittana Faberry.

Rounding out the roster will be irrepressible Reading drag royalty Big Jay and the event’s previous host, Sheer Obsession, fresh from a recent hiatus.

The event will be Lady Gaga themed, meaning guests are invited to bring their poker faces and best titanium blond wigs.
