And after the success of last year we couldn't not have a return of the human may-pole, a spot of Morris dancing plus the yearly crowning of the VFD May Queen 👸🏼
So get your bank holiday bums down to VFD, the basement of dreams, and let's show May that FUN is a political act!!!
*SUNDAY~FUNDAY shares no political standpoint and has no affiliation with the current government. However, parody May costumes are funny and encouraged! 🐍

Holy Christ, it's Easter! We've got one of those rare and miraculous bank holiday Monday-thingy situations and we are blessed by the fact that, once again, the Easter Bunny has visited, Christ is resurrected and SUNDAY~FUNDAY are back to make a beautiful mess again from the basement of dreams ✨@VFD@✨ We'll have more Easter bunnies than an OCD magician can stuff away ???
We'll have the ultimate playlist from our funniest music~makers to keep the fun factor ???
We'll be bringing you another colossal, now infamous LATE ? NIGHT ? DRAG ? SHOW ? jammed with glittering queer artistry and temporal storytelling unlike no other! ???✨?
We'll have extra special limited edition hanging hot cross buns! ??*?
As ever, ? @8:00 & ? @10:00
Entry £5, or PWYC (this includes paying more if you want ?)
So let's get HOT, let's get CROSS (or at least cross with the patriarchy) and let's have the most FUN!!!!
* ? is standing in as there is currently no emoji for hot crossed buns...
** this edition of SUNDAY~FUNDAY falls on Maxi More's 30th birthday weekend and as such you are therefore a) obliged to come and wish her many happy returns, and b) accept that at this stage on her birthday weekend, she could well be in a rather sorry state ?
Shakespeare, kale smoothies, colonialism, Kylie Jenner and sunburns - It’s high time we celebrate Europe, the fatherland, and its cultural riches that have been stomped onto every single corner of this world. Keep the hot sauce in the bag and pull out the Hellmann’s. This is the opportunity to embrace your inner Susan who wants to speak to customer service or Harry, the guy in the pink polo shirt who’s interning at his dad’s hedge fund over the summer.
This line up will keep you dancing off beat all night

Come as the Iron Lady or the Tangerine Tyrant. Get that Norwegian virgin sew in, and strap those lederhosen onto your sexy butts. Be creative, but don’t bother to do any actual research on your costumes. White people wanting to attend this event are highly encouraged to dress as unicorns or other rando mythological creatures.
This is just our way to express admiration for caucasian culture, i.e. free speech, i.e. we don’t see colour, i.e. we’re all one, spread the love. Makes sense, no? And before y’all get offended, relax guys! I've asked my white friend if this is racist and he said it's ok.
Let's sprinkle some privilege on this bih.
Entry 5£ in costume 5£ before 11pm 7£ after 11 pm
All profits of the event will be donated to starving children in Finland.
--------------------------
This is real, and this is happening for real.
The Caucacity is prompted by the so often blurred lines between cultural appreciation and appropriation, and draws its main inspiration from MorningGloryville's recent 'Africa' themed event:

We won't be actually donating any money to all those poor kids in Finland, rather, it will be given to SMUG (sexualminoritiesuganda.com).
