Boylesque Drag Festival Berlin

The 5th edition of the Boylesque Drag Festival Berlin took place in July 2025 at the Wintergarten Varieté on Potsdamer Straße 96. As in previous years, the festival brought together over 30 international Drag and Burlesque artists on a single Berlin stage.

The focus was once again on a grand gala show featuring Boylesque numbers, classic striptease acts, Drag choreographies, and comedy performances. Sheila Wolf hosted the evening as founder and Master of Ceremony – as always during Pride Month, blending political commentary with entertainment.

The festival quickly sold out again, confirming its position as the most important European platform for the Boylesque scene. The 2025 edition laid the groundwork for the spectacular 6th edition in 2026, featuring a first-time parallel edition in Cologne and an international lineup from the USA, UK, Denmark, France, and Italy.
