Wild Wednesdays

Monday nights at Rise belong to a rotating cast of powerhouse queens—Paige, Sutton, Cacophony, and Evita—serving looks, comedy, and pure performance energy. Videos start at 7 with DJ Gingy spinning, then showtime kicks off at 8:30. It's the kind of reliable, high-energy drag show that makes you actually look forward to Mondays.

Tuesday nights at Rise belong to the bingo lovers who show up for free games, fabulous prizes, and Evita Loca keeping the energy high. Happy hour specials run until 9pm, and there's food to keep you fueled between rounds. It's the kind of low-key, reliably fun midweek thing that actually gets people off the couch.

The second Wednesday of every month belongs to up-and-coming queer and indie artists at Rise. It's a night built for discovering new music from people who actually get it — the kind of emerging talent that doesn't always get the spotlight but absolutely deserves it. Shows start at 8:30 PM.

Thursday nights at Rise belong to Zetta Jones and the chaos that follows—a night built on boys, drama, drag, and comedy that doesn't take itself too seriously. DJ Steve Sidewalk keeps the energy moving while the stage delivers the kind of performances that remind you why Hell's Kitchen's drag scene is genuinely unmatched. Show starts at 10:30pm.

Friday nights at Rise belong to the queens — a high-energy drag show that kicks off at 8pm with the kind of performances that remind you why this venue has become Hell's Kitchen's drag destination. Expect looks, comedy, and the rotating cast that keeps people coming back week after week.

The second Wednesday of each month belongs to up-and-coming queer and indie artists at Rise. It's a night built for discovering new music from people who actually get what queer sounds should feel like — no big production, just good artists and an audience that shows up to listen. Doors at 8:30 PM.
