Established in 2014, LIPSYNC1000 is the beating heart of London’s alternative drag community, where fashion, art and nightlife combine into a chaotic haze of shoe-stomping non-stop glamour!
Now in its TENTH SEASON, we introduce new hosts, East London drag icon FEMMI and lip-tastic dancer, MIMI CHANEL.
Held weekly on the ground floor of The Divine, contestants only need to win ONE HEAT to go through to the GRAND FINAL where they will compete alongside 18 other finalists at the CLAPHAM GRAND!
1st Prize - ÂŁ1000 cash PLUS your own paid for show at The Divine!
2nd Prize - ÂŁ300 worth of paid gigs at The Divine
3rd Prize - ÂŁ150 paid gig at The Divine
Performers who have impressed at LIPSYNC1000 have gone on to have their own shows at The Glory & The Divine, performed at Glastonbury, Latitude, Hackney Empire, MTV Award shows and London & Brighton Pride, and even appeared on RuPaul’s Drag Race. Yes, we’re looking at you Bimini, Jonbers, Tayce & Ginger Johnson!
Each week has special guest judges – from arts venues, journalists, scene faces, fashion designers and the odd celeb for a giggle.
