Britain "baby drag performer" cancels concerts, blames "trolls"—media
March 4, 2023Tweet
(RT) ⸻ CabaBabaRave, a UK performance troupe that combines "sensory events" for babies with raunchy cabaret numbers for their moms, cancelled all of its upcoming shows on Friday in an email seen by the Daily Mail after outraged parents accused the mom-run troupe of sexually grooming children. Event organizers Gemma Daubney and Liz West blamed "the recent trolling attack and unfair media attention" for the decision to take their social media profiles private. The troupe locked down its social media profiles on Wednesday after footage surfaced on social media showing scantily clad adults shaking their barely-clothed nether regions in babies' faces. While the organizers promised they were not saying "goodbye forever," their website has been blanked along with their socials. The Wayback Machine reveals a bizarre mixture of typical baby-themed playtime and heavily-made up drag performers staring down infants, similar to the Drag Queen Story Hour events polarizing parents on both sides of the Atlantic.
