DenimJoe acts as keyboardist and music director the drag cabaret troupe, Denim. Initially founded in March 2011 by Amrou Al-Kadhi (aka Glamrou) as a reaction against the monotony of Cambridge University nightlife, ‘Denim’ rapidly blossomed into one of Cambridge’s most beloved events. The evening consists of over an hour of performances from the Denim Drag Kings and Queens, including a full live jazz band, vocal harmony, solos, dancing, and stand-up comedy. Make-up artists are scattered around the club to allow every audience member to explore their own expressions of gender, while the dragged-up DJ’s play floor fillers until closing once the show is finished.
