Unconventional: Drag Night At SOCIAL CONVENTION

Iota Events?

Also known as Big Jay’s favourite distraction from complete and utter boredom, Iota Events is a drag events company based in Reading. We run a minimum of 3 events a month spearheaded by local drag monarch Big Jay (they/he). Thanks to our good friend and colleague Amber Rose Turner, we have been afforded the opportunity to produce a drag show in London at the amazing Social Convention!

Whilst some may describe Big Jay as mainstream at times, Iota Events was founded to platform all forms of drag, to highlight the art of gender expression, and give a space for less “conventional” drag styles. As a (holds breath) non-binary/gender apathetic pansexual Hindu Indian neurodiverse disabled slightly thicc drag monarch who is not admittedly a fan of RuPaul’s Drag Race (exhales), it is important to Iota Events and Big Jay for drag performers like myself to have as much visibility as possible.
