They join the likes of Katya, Jinkx Monsoon, Bebe Zahara Benet, Bendelacre­me and Violet Chachki at DragWorld UK.

Fans will get the chance to meet their favourite queens down autograph alley, take part in Q&A panels and buy merchandis­e.

The weekend will kick off with a Drag Ball party at Hammersmit­h’s Eventim Apollo, featuring live performanc­es and hosted by local drag queen Meth.

Tickets are now available from www.eventbrite.co.uk.
