Titty Kaka’s Workshop Weekender
Join us at Aunty Social for this 2 day workshop hosted by the iconic Titty Kaka.
- Have you ever made anyone feel uncomfortable on purpose, and kinda liked it?
- Do you fancy going into witness protection but don’t have the criminal clout?
- Have you ever peeled a banana with your hands?
If so, you’ve possibly considered learning the art of drag!
Look no further, Titty Kaka is here to help. As a world renowned performer, celebrating a decade of drag, she’s returning to the scene of the crime… Blackpool! Starting her career at the iconic Funny Girls, to the bright lights of the Champs-Elysées in Paris, she is now the resident drag queen onboard the award winning Virgin Voyages fleet of ladyships.
For one weekend in September, Titty is rolling up her sleeves to show you how the sausage is made. She’ll be offering skills, tips and tricks to help you create and build your very own unique and original drag persona.
You can be weird, wonderful, beautiful, bold, chaotic and camp. This course is for anyone who sees themselves – be it queen, king or thing – using drag as a platform for expression.

- Make-up Design & Application Tips
