From classic tease to unexpected spectacle, this is a night designed to surprise, delight, and dazzle.

Hosted by Retro Joad, the evening features live music from Jumpin’ Joel Flash and performances from a vibrant, queer and diverse cast starring Pastel Supernova, Saffron St. James, Koston Kreme, Lana Lovecakes, The Divine Darlings, Strawberrie Feels and Bella Barecatt.
