Bahay Kubo is more than just a drag collective, it’s a movement. We are rooted in Treaty Six territory, and we carry the name Bahay Kubo which translates to Nipa Hut - a symbol of Filipinx identity, resilience, and courage. Through performance, artistry, and unapologetic queerness, we weave a love letter to the Filipinx diaspora - to those, like us, who left the homeland in pursuit of a better future. We are brown and Asian joy incarnate, honouring culture and heritage, through the power of drag. 

From the relentless heat of the Philippines to the unforgiving chill of the prairies, Filipinx resilience endures - Just like Bahay Kubo, standing strong, unshaken, and ready for whatever lies ahead!

Ivana Beer is Saskatchewan's elite clown hooker. Don't be fooled by her good looks though because she quite literally is a jack of ALL trades. You never really know what you're going to get with her but she can guarantee it will be funny and shocking in the best way possible. She has a love for bringing creativity to people in ways you've never seen before and she'll never leave you unsatisfied but you'll definitely be wanting more!

Playwright, director and singer songwriter Sean Nicholas Savage has returned to a pop palette with his most brilliant batch of classic ballads to date. His new album, “The Knowing” is a pivot; at once more subversive and yet more fashionable than ever before.

Savage engaged several collaborators on this record. Longtime accomplice Pascal Chenard recorded and produced the record with Savage in London, England, where Savage was born. The lead single, “Your Drug”, a reflective duet with Arbutus Records label mate Marci, both familiar and yet with an edgy bareness that allows it to recontextualize its nostalgic trope. Belgian singer songwriter David Numwami played guitar on the songs “Stranger Than Fiction” and “Wild Things” and artist JJ Weihl aka Discovery Zone co-wrote “Pink Bouquet”.
