Drag Discovery: Cycle

Sunday, November 15th, 2026

6:30 PM

Each week, contestants take the stage to perform a number of their choice for a local drag entertainer serving as mentor, then get immediate, constructive feedback right there in the room. The mentor picks the top two to advance to a lip sync battle, and the winners take home a cash prize plus a guest spot in an upcoming Saturday show. It's a front-row seat to up-and-coming talent being shaped in real time, and the room gets to watch the whole journey unfold.

Your favorite drag performer calls the balls, tosses out jokes and trivia, and passes out cash, all in a fabulous ensemble. It's $10 for 10 games, with a chance to win $1000 on the coverall. Come early because it fills up fast, and all proceeds go to the Aliveness Project.
