Velvet-Club Connecting Lesbians & Bi-women around the World
Nightlife gatecrash, raucous cabaret and musical extrava-ganza; 0800 CUPID is a genre-defying queer countercultural opus from THISISPOPBABY that fizzes between performance and reality. Hailing from South London and a proud member of the Irish diaspora, Emer Dineens Irish Catholic family never quite understood why she was dressing up as a kinky cherub to sing dystopian love songs in sticky gay bars across London. Emer didnt understand either, she just knew she was trying to put a shape on a feeling; a discomfort brought on by enforced isolation, or the city, the meaning crisis, loneliness epidemic, a lifetime online, the news, too much partying, telly, capitalism, self-checkouts, Pornhub, Shein. And whilst trying to make sense of this existential dread via the questionable medium of musical comedy, Emers life took an unexpected turn. Through her drag persona, crumbling club-kid Cupid, Emer Dineen grapples with love in a lonely capitalist paradigm. Hungover, moulting and disorientated, our redundant deity battles with with modern life, unravelling Emers true story of navigating personal loss, dysfunctional relationships and finding meaningful connection in the city. (experiencing the sweet sting of meaningful connection where she least expected it) 0800 CUPID is an SOS (emergency) response to the swelling social anxiety of a post-pandemic pre-apocalyptic world, a camp catalyst for reconnection. Its a musical march into and back from an existential brink.
