Get Ready to Sashay Back Into the Heat at Rough Trade’s Next Drag & Dance Extravaganza! 💃🍷

Oh honey, we’re back and hotter than ever—next Thursday is your invitation to unleash your inner disco diva, sip something fancy, and watch a lineup so fierce it’ll make your eyelashes flutter. Kent St Bar is your sanctuary of glitter, grind, and glorious gender-bending chaos. Don’t just attend—become part of the fabulous fabric of this monthly queer tradition. Every first Thursday, we turn the world upside down with a little glitter, a lot of sass, and performers who don’t just break the mold—they shatter it with sequins.

Early Birds Get the Glitter (and the Good Brother): From 7:30pm to 8:30pm, head upstairs for intimate vibes and the magnetic presence of Good Brother—the artist who brings soul, sass, and sometimes a sequin glove. Grab a drink, snag a seat, and soak in the pre-party glow.

🌙 Midnight Mayhem Hits at 9pm: The real magic begins. The floor heats up, the lights dim, and the performers take center stage. Prepare yourself for:

  • Corporate Sauna — where business suits meet burlesque in the most unexpected (and hilarious) way.
  • Discount Price Pu$$y — because fabulousness shouldn’t cost a fortune, and neither should your night out.
  • Ratty LuPone — bringing Broadway-level drama with a punk twist and zero apologies.
  • Lemon Pepper Baby — zesty, spicy, and absolutely unforgettable. Think citrus with a side of sass.
  • Gross Domestique Product — yes, that’s the name, darling. Expect the bizarre, the beautiful, and the brilliantly unhinged.
  • DJ Brontesaurus Sex — don’t let the name scare you, this dino drops beats that’ll make you stomp, shake, and roar. (Note: No dinosaurs were harmed in the making of this party.)

🎧 Music That Moves You—From Floor to Soul: Let the rhythm take over as our DJs spin everything from underground queer anthems to 90s throwbacks you forgot you loved. Whether you’re grinding on someone’s feet or swaying solo under the disco ball, the soundtrack is guaranteed to match the energy of the night.

🌙 Why You Can’t Miss This: Rough Trade isn’t just a party—it’s a community. It’s where chosen family gathers, where identities shine, and where the only rule is: Be You. Loud. Proud. Fabulous. Bring your squad, your glittery heels, your open heart, and a thirst for something unforgettable.

🎟️ Tickets: Available through Humanitix — these sell out faster than a lip-sync battle, so don’t wait. Secure your spot before the glitter runs dry.

📍 Venue: Kent St Bar — your go-to spot for queer celebration, killer cocktails, and unforgettable nights. Come for the show, stay for the vibes (and maybe that one cocktail that’s just a little too good to ignore).
