Frantic Friday 3: The Frantic & the Friday Victoria Drift
Friday, August 27th
19+ / ID Required
Doors: 7PM / Show: 7:45PM
Victoria’s best drag, burlesque and stand-up comedy performers all come together for one frantic and fantastic show!
Born and raised in East Vancouver she got her start in Audio Engineering which lead to a path she never expected. Nikky E started rapping at the age of 13 and has found her voice over the years both in the form of cultural and contemporary musical expression and also videography.
She is currently working with an amazing crew organizing the Koksilah music festival where they weave music, art, Indigenous resistance, and uncharted paths towards decolonization.
Stay tuned for more from Nikky E in the coming months!

≫ Land Acknowledgement ≪
We would like to gratefully acknowledge that the territory on which this event takes place is on the traditional, stolen, unceded land of the Lekwungen and W̱SÁNEĆ peoples. We acknowledge the rich cultural history of the many peoples and rituals that have been affected by the ongoing process of dispossession and colonialism. We hold this understanding in our interactions and engagements with this land and its people.
≫ Accessibility ≪
Our seating is a combination of high tables, bar stools, and cocktail tables with chairs. If you require assistance with this, please make a note when purchasing tickets or contact us at events@victoriaeventcentre.ca and VEC staff will do their best to accommodate.
There are three multi-user, gender-inclusive bathrooms with stalls. One bathroom has a larger stall with its own sink and a grab bar (more details in the ‘Bathrooms’ section).
The Victoria Event Centre currently does not have an operational elevator, and there is one long flight of stairs at the venue entrance. The only way into the VEC is up 27 wood stairs, 11″ deep, 6″ high. There are wooden 2.5” handrails 38” up the wall on each side of the staircase (54” apart, so not graspable on both sides at once. See further details in the ‘Getting Inside’ section)
If you would like to attend the event but require assistance with accessing the space, please contact us at events@victoriaeventcentre.ca and VEC staff will do their best to accommodate.
Inside the Victoria Event Centre there is a gender inclusive wheelchair accessible washroom that technically fits necessary size dimensions, but is missing a bar and a handrail beside the toilet.There are two stalls in the washroom, but only one of these has been renovated to meet 5’x5′ wheelchair clearance.
