APOCALYPSTICK! The grittiest, weirdest, funniest show in town
“Apocalypstick is one part The Judy Garland show one part Jerry Springer and a big part of FABULOUS!”- Isolde N. Barron
APOCALYPSTICK! is East Vancouver’s biggest drag show, and is considered one of the city’s best. Featuring The Queen of East Van Isolde N. Barron as well as a rotation of the city’s finest talent, Apocalypstick titillates shocks and engages audiences. Accompanying the Queen on her Island tour is Baddest Bitch Peach Cobblah and Beardoncé.
