Monster Show

A reading group for people who care about LGBTQ+ literature and the conversations it sparks — the kind of Tuesday night where you actually get to talk about books with people who get it. Hosted at Fabulosa Books in the Castro, this intimate gathering brings together readers and writers who want to dig deeper into queer voices and stories that matter. Expect thoughtful discussion, genuine connection, and the kind of literary community that makes you want to show up again next time.

Evil Twin is a late-night dance event brought to you by Trans Bay Area, featuring DJ Boyprincess spinning from 8pm into the early morning. A night built for the trans community and allies to dance, connect, and celebrate together at Mother in the Mission.

Tuesday nights at The Stud have a reputation for a reason — WTF brings the kind of dance floor energy that makes you forget it's a weeknight. A rotating cast of DJs keeps things moving, the crowd is genuinely here to have fun (not perform), and there's something about dancing in a room full of your people that just hits different. This is where chosen family comes to reset and reconnect, one song at a time.

The weekly underwear party that's exactly what it sounds like — Beaux's Gogo boys, a packed dance floor, and a room full of people in varying states of undress. Free clothing check, drink specials if you're down to your underwear, and a dark, unapologetic vibe that keeps people coming back every Tuesday night.

Every Tuesday night at Badlands, it's a full-on throwback—spinning the best hits from the 80s, 90s, and 2000s all night long. The kind of songs you forgot you loved and the ones you still know every word to. Grab the BOGO happy hour until 8:30pm, then dance it out on a packed floor with people who get it. Starts at 9pm.

Safe Words is back with Jamie Shriner leading the lineup — a rare breed of comedian who writes original songs with the precision of standup and the emotional weight of live music. Sharp, funny, and never a novelty act. This is what happens when comedy and music actually know how to talk to each other.
