Birmingham Drag & Burlesque Festival presents:
Masc Up, Mask Off, Makeup Workshops! with Tristan
Treble
Have you ever wanted to do drag king makeup but had
no idea where to start? Or maybe you’re an already established drag
king who just wants a little extra creative push? Well, with
Tristan Treble’s Masc up, Mask Off, Makeup workshop, it’s time to
pick up those brushes and get painting once and for all! Whilst
this workshop is aimed at people of all experience levels, Tristan
will be covering a whole host of topics; starting with the bare
necessities and building up to the importance and impact of
contouring and colour under stage lights. Of course no makeup
workshop would be complete without letting you have a go yourself,
so let’s end this workshop by making a man out of you!
Please note: in this workshop, Tristan will encourage any attendees
to ask questions and to be curious. With makeup, much like many
things, the best way to learn is to practice, ask questions and
GIVE IT A GO! There is no right or wrong way of doing this, just
come along, let that mask down and get well and truly Masc’d
up!

Birmingham Drag & Burlesque Festival
The first festival of its kind in the United Kingdom is landing right here, in the second biggest city, the land of the 0121, the birthplace of Black Sabbath and where ‘Bab’ is used as a greeting more than hello… Birmingham!
On November 6th-8th 2026, step into a world of utter fabulousness, jaw dropping glamour and outrageous humour, where both the weird and wonderful are championed. Celebrating all the charisma, uniqueness, nerve and talent that Drag and Burlesque has to offer. With a commitment to showcasing international performers and platforming stars of Birmingham… Expect cabaret on steroids!
Produced by ‘Birmingham’s Queen of Burlesque’, Dominus Von Vexo, founder of House of Allure. The festival will be a sparkling, scintillating, steamy cocktail of shows and workshops in the bull’s eye of the city. Sizzling showgirls, daring drag, comedic clowning, bawdy burlesque is but a tease of what is to come; across various venues that contribute and define the creative heartbeat of the city.
In the words of Brummie legend, Julie Walters, “Stage is the most exciting!” and we cannot wait to bring you that thrill.
Join us, for what will be a beautiful and unforgettable celebration of authenticity, diversity and joy, adding to the rich legacy of our city! We invite you to be a part of that history!
