It’s the end of an Enby era. 

Enby 6, the pioneering all-non-binary drag show, is performing for the last time at the Junction next week. 

“After 2.5 years, with a little over a week’s notice, our little show is coming to its conclusion,” reads an Instagram post from the show’s account. “Come celebrate our final night, see some drag, and have a good cry with us.”

It was originally started in 2022 by Rogue, who featured in the OG lineup alongside Kara Juku, Amy Grindhouse, PM, Straight contributor Mx. Bukuru, and the now-crowned Canada’s Drag Race winner Venus. The show was the first in the city to have an explicitly non-binary lineup, taking up the coveted Thursday night slot at the Junction Pub on Davie Street.

“Showing six different people, six different artists, six different humans, that showcase their non-binary-isms in different ways… is really important,” Rogue told us in an interview last year. “I think it’s changed, honestly, a lot of perceptions about drag on Davie, and about what it means to be non-binary.” 

The sixsome were voted Vancouver’s Best Drag Show in 2023’s Best of Vancouver awards, but it’s been a bumpy road since then. Rogue moved to Montreal, while Venus’s newfound national fame took her away from the group. A competition to find a new member—won by the incredible Bongganisa—led to a new five-person core cast, with rotating sixth members. 

That said, the end of the Junction show seems like a surprise to all involved. PM commented, “Who else is MAD! Raise your hands,” and Grindhouse posted a High School Musical GIF summarizing the situation: “This is not what I want.”

While this may be the end of the sextet’s iconic run at the Junction, the group has some kind of plan for the future. Enby 6 is already confirmed to be performing at this month’s “Summertime Sadness”-themed Man Up show. 

“Stick around till the end for a special announcement,” concludes the Instagram caption. Until then, we’ll be hoping this doesn’t mean Enby 0.
