CUT-CUT Funding Party: Drag, Community and a Brand-New Chest at The Agenda

On 6 March, Brussels drag artist T’Charly/Charli turns The Agenda into a fundraising runway with CUT-CUT – Funding Party. Expect an unapologetically queer drag show, brilliant performers and a community coming together to help fund their top surgery.

On 6 March, Brussels queers get a new date to circle in neon on their calendars: CUT-CUT – Funding Party at The Agenda, hosted by drag artist T’Charly/Charli. The idea is as simple as it is powerful: throw a banger of a drag night and use the energy – and the ticket money – to support their top surgery (torsoplastie).

“CUT-CUT” plays with the scissors emoji they use in their handle, but also with the reality of transition: trans and gender-diverse people are constantly asked to justify their bodies, pathologised or put on endless waiting lists. Here, the answer is collective: if the system is slow, the community speeds things up. You come for the show; you stay because each euro helps build a safer, more affirming body.

When and where

• 📍 Venue: The Agenda, Plattesteen 18/20, 1000 Brussels – one of the city’s key queer bars and nightlife hubs, known for drag shows, themed parties and a very mixed LGBTQIA+ crowd.
• 🎭 Shows: start around 20:30
• 🕗 Doors / tickets: from 20:00 at the bar entrance
• 🎟️ Entry: from €9 – “for a brand-new chest!”

The Agenda is fully dedicated to LGBTQIA+ people, non-binary folks and allies, with a programme that mixes drag, music, performance and just the right amount of chaos. It’s the ideal backdrop for a night where gender euphoria, fundraising and community joy all meet on the same stage.

What to expect

CUT-CUT is built as a drag show bringing together a line-up of talented performers invited by T’Charly/Charli. You can expect:

• lipsyncs and performance pieces ranging from campy to emotional;
• moments of tenderness and humour, as the host shares why this surgery matters;
• a crowd that knows why being there is political – and joyful.

If you’ve seen T’Charly/Charli on stage before, you know their universe: an engaged, dreamlike and burlesque drag clown, equal parts tenderness and chaos, shade and hugs. CUT-CUT continues that line: drag as storytelling, as survival and as a very concrete tool to access gender-affirming care.

Visuals: queer art all around

The night is also a showcase of local queer talent beyond the stage:

It’s a reminder that queer nightlife is never “just a party”: it’s also design, drawing, tattoo culture, graphic storytelling and all the small aesthetics that make a community feel seen.

Why this night matters

For many trans and non-binary people, top surgery is not a luxury – it’s a life-saving step. But between medical gatekeeping, delays and cost, it often takes a village to get there. CUT-CUT is that village for one night: a room full of people saying “we’ve got you”, not just with words, but with tickets and tips.

If you’re in Brussels on 6 March, this is your sign to show up, bring friends, and make some noise. You’ll leave with sore cheeks from laughing, maybe glitter in strange places, and the feeling that you’ve helped make someone’s gender journey a little lighter.
