Lola Rose’s Second Annual Black History (Herstory, Theirstory) Shows!

Miss Lola Rose has made this February bright with her three week long Second Annual Black History Show!

Tipsy Bear Berlin is closed for the second German lockdown, but that doesn’t stop Miss Lola. This show features Lola Rose streaming her live performance from the TB stage and hosting some of Berlin’s incredible Black performers via video. Previous Lola at TB drawing here!

The show has been held over another week and has one more episode, Weds Feb 17 on the Tipsy Bear twitchstream!

Gorgeous FKA, seen below, is on sound in the booth and performs as well.

Somehow this multitalented superstar always comes out like a cartoon superheroine.

Akynos Ice Cream by Suzanne Forbes feb 10 2021The Incredible, Edible Akynos shared her “Ice Cream” video.

This is the PG beginning of it – it gets very exciting! Akynos is one of the Black Berlin performers who has a Patreon. Fellow white people, if you can support white friends on Patreon, you can add some support for Black and BIPOC creators!

Godx Noirphiles by Suzanne Forbes Feb 10 2021

This is the indelible, blazing GodXXX Noirphiles from a performance video I saw for the first time during this show.

It was recorded in Munich in 2019, and you can really see GodXXX impact the audience. Rarely have I seen minds so blown. GodXXX Noirphiles also has a GetThemPaidtreon!

He/she/they are posting incredible new work, like this video on Precolonial Black Queer and Trans History and their groundbreaking Queer Birthing Series. You can help support this new parent, House of Living Colors mama, and powerful creative! Linktree here, Insta here!

Deni Rose by Suzanne Forbes Feb 17 2021I loved the piece Lola’s Drag Niece Deni Rose created for the show.

The storytelling, the dancing, the bath with chandelier earrings – Deni Rose is amazing.

There’s a money pool for the performers of this show here!

She performed live for the “Let it Snow” special with Lola Rose!

It was my first time drawing wildly charming Miss Judy and I had such fun. She is so pragmatic, so wise, so funny. Check out this Taimi video to hear about her inspiring journey from Tel Aviv to Berlin’s drag scene and find out how drag saved her life!

Miss Judy has lots of other performances online. You will love them 🙂

Each number had a different look and the wigs were flying.Lola Rose winter show by Suzanne Forbes May 27 2021

Lola Rose is one of my very favorite Berlin performers, and this show was a thrill.

Lola has two new livestreaming shows coming Feb 3 and 10th, from Tipsy Bear’s stage.

Lola’s 2nd annual Black His/Herstory (Theirstory) Month show will run two Wednesdays of February with ten performers altogether. Five performers each week with a variety of burlesque, drag, stand up, theatre, & singing. The lineup is fantastic!! Even if you can’t catch the show, you can contribute to the money pool here to support these Black performers during this hard time.
