A Glam Greek Night Out: The Vamps Light Up Birnam with Drag, Dinner, and Jozi Magic

Johannesburg has never been shy about its love for bold entertainment, but even in a city known for its flair, few acts have held an audience the way the Vamps have. This November, the legendary drag partnership brings its sharp humour, sparkling personality, and signature sass to a dinner and show experience that blends camp theatrics with Mediterranean warmth.

The event takes place on Saturday, the twenty-second of November, from half past six to half past ten in the heart of Birnam at 102 Corlett Drive. Anyone who has followed drag culture in Joburg will recognise the names instantly. Holly Diamond and Loulou Blu have been performing together as the longest-running drag duo in the city. Their chemistry is effortless, their banter hysterical, and their style unmistakable.

A Greek feast meets Jozi nightlife

The evening kicks off with a welcome cocktail to set the mood before guests sit down to a three-course Greek-inspired menu. Think generous portions, warm hospitality, and the kind of energy that makes you want to loosen up and lean fully into the night. The show begins after the main courses are served, giving guests a chance to enjoy their meal before the lights rise and the wigs, heels, and one-liners take centre stage.

Dessert comes out after the performance, with maybe a plate or two to smash. The combination of a cosy dining space and a high-energy drag performance gives the evening the feel of an intimate cabaret where the performers know their audience and the audience feels like part of the act.

Why this show has locals talking

Events like this work so well in Johannesburg because they offer more than entertainment. They offer connection. Jozi audiences appreciate creativity with heart, and the Vamps have built their following by giving exactly that. Many fans have already taken to social media to call the pair a highlight of the city’s nightlife, praising them for keeping drag culture accessible, joyful, and rooted in community.

The limited seating speaks to the demand. For R550 per person, guests receive the full package, including a cocktail, dinner, and a polished show that reflects their longstanding partnership. Bookings must be made and paid in advance, which means the room will be filled with people who genuinely want to be there, adding to the atmosphere.
