Drag Discovery

Two Twin Cities institutions collide for one night only: 15 years of Martina's Broadway Cabaret meets 8 years of Queer Circus's variety shows. Expect drag, burlesque, aerial performers, live music, and the kind of theatrical energy that only happens when you combine the magic of Broadway with the raw power of circus performance. VIP tickets get you stage-side seats and a photo op with the cast.

Thursday nights at LUSH belong to the trivia crowd — bring your crew, test your knowledge, and stick around for the camaraderie and cheap drinks. It's the kind of low-stakes, high-fun weekly ritual that keeps people coming back, especially when 341's are all day.

Queer Circus Mpls is where circus arts meets drag performance — think acrobatics, aerial silks, and theatrical chaos all wrapped up in one gloriously weird night. This is the kind of show that reminds you why live performance matters: unpredictable, visually stunning, and full of the kind of creative energy that only happens when you get queer artists in a room together. Thursday at 9pm at LUSH, expect the unexpected.

Five years of LUSH means five years of you showing up, and they're saying thank you with $10 tickets for the rest of 2026. Ninety minutes of drag performances, a full brunch menu, and a room full of people who know how to have a good time on a Friday morning. Theater doors open at 11am — come hungry, leave happy.

Five years of LUSH means five years of this beloved weekend institution — 90 minutes of rotating drag performers, craft cocktails, and a room that knows how to celebrate. Theater doors open at 11am, and for the rest of 2026, tickets are just $10. Gather your crew and make it a tradition.

A weekly competition where emerging local drag performers get real-time mentorship from established queens, then compete for cash prizes and a shot at LUSH's bigger stages. Each night features 10 contestants performing their own numbers, receiving immediate feedback from a rotating mentor, and the top two advance to a lip sync battle. It's free to attend, packed with community support, and genuinely designed to help new performers grow.
