The sinister rise of drag shows for children

The hyper-sexualisation of children’s shows in the name of ‘diversity and inclusion’ continues to grip the United Kingdom. 

The latest incarnation to emerge is the ‘Caba Baba Rave’ – a ‘cabaret sensory rave for parents and their babies 0-2 years’ – which has been performing in London and was due to appear in Waterloo on 11 March.   

It recently came to light that the show, which promised to provide a ‘little slice of afternoon delight’, was packed full of half-naked drag acts, wearing bondage gear, thongs and nipple tassels in front of children. The performers often name themselves after lewd sex acts. Nothing is left to the imagination.  

After public outcry after videos of the ‘rave’ were shared on social media, the organisers have cancelled their upcoming shows. They have taken their website down and turned all of their social media profiles to ‘private’, in what could be construed as an attempt to avoid the rigorous scrutiny they are now facing.
