Join our Fierce Queens, Kings and everyone in between to celebrate LGBTQ+ History Month at the Queen's House.
Taking place every year in the heart of historic Greenwich, Fierce Queens brings together performers and historians for an unforgettable night of queer liberation and LGBTQ+ representation.
This year the Queen's House is throwing open its doors for a fashion show like no other.
Hosted by resident Drag King and Queen Adam All and Apple Derrieres, this spectacular soirée at the House of Delight invites everyone to celebrate, explore, disguise and un-masque their splendid identity(ies).
More info coming soon!
Meet your hosts
Adam All and Apple Derrieres are delighted to be curating Fierce Queens for a sixth year in a row.
This dynamite duo in and out of Drag are huge advocates of the LGBTQIA+ scene, their aim being to bring visibility to queer love, people and performers, particularly within the Cabaret scene.

Together they have taken the Cabaret world by storm performing harmoniously and internationally together with their unique brand of live blended vocals, coordinated couture and cartoon flavoured Drag. Alongside their literally glittering cabaret careers, they have curated, hosted and performed at events for English Heritage, Historic Royal Palaces, The National Theatre, The Bush Theatre, The Royal Opera House, and of course, Royal Museums Greenwich.
LGBTQ+ History Month
Words matter
We have co-produced this event with members of the LGBTQ+ community, who have chosen to use the term 'queer' in the description of the event.
Queer is, as charity Stonewall points out, "a term used by those wanting to reject specific labels of romantic orientation, sexual orientation and/or gender identity. It can also be a way of rejecting the perceived norms of the LGBT community (racism, sizeism, ableism etc). Although some LGBT people view the word as a slur, it was reclaimed in the late 80s by the queer community who have embraced it."
