Gender Trouble Presents: Corporate Pride
Sat 2 Aug 21:00–03:00 @Alphabet Brighton
Sick of rainbow capitalism? Or maybe you’re here for it? Either way, Corporate Pride is Brighton Pride’s most ironic (and iconic) night out. It’s a free/pay-what-you-feel party meets power-suit fantasy. Expect Italo-disco, homoerotic EBM and disco sleaze, spun by resident DJs; plus live acts including business-goth synth stars Massive Luxury Overdose and the fabulous Vasha. Dress code: executive realness, CEO slay, new money, or just come as your most ambitious self. Hosted by Mx Mother Misha, who will be awarding fabulous prizes to the fiercest looks. RSVP: gender-corp.neocities.org
