Detroit

Drag shows

Detroit’s LGBTQ+ community is diffuse but active, with many queer-friendly bars and organizations spread across the city and suburbs rather than concentrated in a single area.

Contestants battle each week for a spot in the February 25 Grand Finale. Each audience member will get one vote to determine the top two each week. Open to all performers. Sign up the night of contest at the bar. Must arrive by 9:30 PM to be eligible. We reserve the right to limit the number of contestants on any given night.
