His astonishing work of social history, Revolutionary Acts: Love & Brotherhood in Black Gay Britain; is marked by resilience and self-determination, inspired by the love and beauty Black men have found within each other. Okundaye meets an elder generation of Black gay men and finds a spirited community full of courage, charisma and good humour, hungry to tell its past – of nightlife, resistance, political fights, loss, gossip, sex, romance and vulgarity. In this event, we also hear from South London born and bred, Marc Thompson who is an activist, health promotion specialist, podcaster and LGBTQ+ cultural curator. Okundaye relays their stories with rare compassion, listening as they share intimate memories and reflect upon their lives. Get tickets from the Brighton Festival website!

27mayalldayRuPaul's Drag Race Ginger Johnson at Brighton Spiegeltent from 9pmGinger Johnson is a very silly sausage wrapped in a 1950's hollywood moviestar, wrapped in bacon and cooked in the oven at 200 degrees until she's golden brown and crispy round the edges. She is also the current reigning Queen of Rupaul's Drag Race UK. Since bursting onto the UK cabaret scene over a decade ago, Ginger's award-winning blend of camp laughs and bareknuckle confessional have earned her a reputation for being a risk-taking performer with a big heart and an even bigger mouth. This year Ginger makes her Brighton Spiegeltent debut, in this one-night-only spectacular that boasts sequins, stories and self-penned songs that promise to beguile and bewilder in equal measure.
