The Boulet Brothers Dragula is coming to Bristol
Halloween may be over, but fans of frighteningly good horror drag won’t have to wait too long for a fix, as the iconic Boulet Brothers have just announced they’re bringing their trademark mix of “Drag, Filth, Horror and Glamour” to Bristol in March 2022.
Straight off the back of the fourth season of their immensely popular TV series “The Boulet Brothers Dragula”, the titular performers are embarking on a UK tour, and are excited to return after the pandemic put a stop to international touring.

“We have passionate fans in the US, but the way that the fans resonate with what we do in the UK, it reaches another level” says Drac Boulet.
“I feel like there’s like a deeper appreciation for our dark aesthetic and our transgressive kind of perspective that we really get recognised for in the UK and that just feels great.”

This upcoming tour is the first official Dragula tour to come to Bristol, and Swan and Drac Boulet can’t wait to make their debut here.
“We’ve been to the UK with seasons two and three, but Bristol is a stop that we’ve not made.” says Swan Boulet.
“So this will be our maiden voyage through Bristol. Drac and I love to explore the places in the cities that we visit!”
For the uninitiated, the TV series – which streams on AMC’s Shudder- sees drag performers compete in challenges, in a similar style to RuPaul’s Drag Race. Where Dragula differs is that the performers and challenges are all themed around the dark, the macabre, and twisted; it’s drag with a bit more bite, as it were.
Season 4 sees the stakes being raised, with the winning “supermonster” netting $100,000 and a headline slot on the UK tour, joined by the the top three performers and The Boulet Brothers themselves.
The live tour show is set to be a flamboyant, extravagant celebration of all things dark, freaky, and wild, with a few hidden surprises in store.
“The show is so transgressive and punk and has kind of a wild spirit. We’re gonna take that spirit and bring it with us all through the UK.” says Drac.
“I kind of see it almost like a a flagship for freaks- we’re sort of travelling around the country and coming to visit all the other freaks.” Swan adds.
“It’s almost like a giant Coven meeting for all the weirdos in the world, when we come into town.”
The Boulet Brothers Dragula Season 4 Tour comes to The Fleece on March 31st, 2022. Tickets on sale 10am November 10th.
