Soho Square Gardens
Soho Square, London, United Kingdom
London is about to crown its Most Performative Male. On Sunday 19th October (2:00–5:00 PM), Soho Square Garden transforms into a stage of theatrics, flair, and unapologetic drama.
The afternoon kicks off with a runway show where contestants strut, pose, and show off their most dramatic looks. Then it’s onto the “Why Me?” speeches, with each contender making a bold one-minute case for why they deserve the crown.
But it doesn’t stop there — the audience holds the power. With paddles in hand, you’ll vote your favourites through every round: from the Top 12, to the Top 5, then onto the Top 3. Expect a quickfire debate on playful topics and a final round of creative performances, from spoken word to dramatic readings.
Finally, you’ll help decide the winner, who will be crowned as London’s Most Performative Male in a climactic finale.
The first 20 guests through the gates will score a free donut, and with music, laughter, and plenty of drama, this is not your average Sunday in Soho.
