BAR TRASH presents… TRASH OR TREASURE? Resurrecting “The Worst Films of All Time” – BOOKING NOW!

KANSAS CITY BOMBER x FIST CLUB – BAR TRASH takeover for International Women’s Day, raising funds for WISH at Genesis Cinema’s Bar Paragon (08 MAR 20:30) / Part of TRASH OR TREASURE? 

“FIST CLUB is London’s sensational queer wrestling, drag, cabaret and comedy show and they’re taking over this edition of Token Homo’s BAR TRASH for International Women’s Day!”

“Hosting will be cult film fanatic Katy Bulmer (Loose Willis) who will be joined on stage by FIST CLUB co-creator Daisy Lang (Rocky Rhodes aka Big Dick Energy) and professional wrestler Sally Altan (Beau Belles). Together, they’ll screen roller-derby classic, KANSAS CITY BOMBER (1972) starring the late, great Raquel Welch (1940 – 2023), and discuss why watching violent women, non-binary and gnc characters on screen is a radical act.”

This special edition of BAR TRASH will raise funds for WISH, a local charity that supports women with long-term mental health and other complex needs that may put them in contact with the mental health or criminal justice systems. Please bring cash for raffle tickets and donations (however small!).
