SUMMARY:TGIF Drag Night
DESCRIPTION:It’s Friday\, and you know what that means—drag\, drinks\, and dancing at T’s All Welcoming Pub! Get ready for a frisky night with gag-worthy performances by Xtra\, Bianca Allen\, Dynasty Starr\, and Shea Muah! \n\n\n\n⏰ Show starts at 9 PM. That gives you just enough time to pick a cute outfit\, throw on a lash\, and convince your friends to leave the house. \n\n\n\n🍸 Grab a cocktail. Snag a seat. Soak in the talent. Then\, once the last lip sync hits\, DJ SLUSHY takes over with the kind of beats that make you text your ex or buy a round for strangers. Either way\, it’s gonna be a night. \n\n\n\n🚪 No cover. Just vibes. Just drag. Just YOU\, being iconic. See you there. 💋
