Sheffield’s alt-drag misfits Trash Haus return to The Lughole on Saturday 26 September with Volume 5: Night of 1000 Divines. It is an 18+ horror and filth cabaret inspired by Divine, built for an audience that likes its drag loud, strange, camp and joyfully excessive.
If you already know the Trash Haus nights, the title probably tells you plenty. If this is your first one, expect a DIY cabaret rather than a polished mainstream drag show: eight acts, a deliberately grubby sense of humour, a themed audience and a grassroots Sheffield venue.

- Theme: audience members are invited to “dress to distress”, with a best-dressed contest planned.
The idea behind the night
Divine became a cult figure through a fearless screen presence and a refusal to make queerness smaller or more polite. Trash Haus are taking that spirit as the starting point rather than asking every performer for a literal impersonation. The result should move between horror, comedy, glamour, deliberate bad taste and whatever each act decides “too much” means.
The audience can join in without needing a perfect costume. The organiser is running an on-theme best-dressed contest, so a bold silhouette, horror reference or gloriously excessive detail is enough of a direction. Dressing up is part of the invitation, not a condition of entry.
The line-up
Your hostess with the grossest, BINBAG, presents eight acts across the night: Fish Widow, Izzi Serious, Knuckle Sandwich, Lou Safire, Morgue, Neapolitan VonSchweets, Norah Palmer and OnlyFauns. It is a broad bill rather than a single-star show, so arrive for the beginning and give each act the room to take the theme somewhere different.
Tickets, membership and the venue
General admission is listed at £13 and concessions at £7. OutSavvy shows a booking fee before checkout and also offers the option to tip the performers. A tip is a donation rather than an admission ticket, so make sure an actual ticket is in the basket.
The Lughole is a members’ grassroots venue. The organiser asks visitors to arrange an inexpensive venue membership through the Lughole website, helping the space remain independent and available to Sheffield’s DIY scene. Check the venue’s current membership information before setting off rather than leaving it until the door.
Getting there and planning the night
The venue is on Harvest Lane in the Kelham Island and Neepsend side of the city. Open the Sheffield Events listing for the map and latest source details. Save your route home before the show, leave time to find the entrance and check the ticket page again on the day in case the organiser posts a final update.

Is it a good first Trash Haus night?
Yes, if you enjoy cabaret that is rough-edged, queer, funny and deliberately confrontational. You do not need to know every performer or arrive in full costume. Turn up ready to pay attention, support the acts and respect the inclusive DIY space. If horror, filth or adult humour is not your thing, this is probably not the gentlest introduction to Sheffield drag, but that specificity is exactly why the night should find its crowd.
