Cape Town

Drag shows

Cape Town is Africa’s queer capital, with LGBTQ+ life centered in De Waterkant and Green Point. The city’s mix of beaches, mountains, and nightlife — along with events like Cape Town Pride — make it a hub of visibility, creativity, and celebration for the continent.

An event as part of Cape Town Pride 2026 featuring a drag-hosted lube wrestling arena at Green Point Track during Mardi Gras. Contestants compete inside a lube-filled arena to remove a sock from their opponent, emphasizing entertainment and crowd participation. The event marks the debut of Backdoor Botanics, a queer-focused intimate-care brand, aiming to promote visibility, joy, and serious care in queer intimacy. Hosted by drag MC Stella Rosé, the activation combines performance, humor, and social messaging.
