Friday – Church Street

Buddies in Bad Times Theatre presents Take Rimbaud, a bold theatrical exploration of the legendary French poet's life and legacy. This evening-length performance dives into Rimbaud's radical vision, queer identity, and the cultural upheaval that defined his era. A thought-provoking night for anyone drawn to provocative art, queer history, and the artists who refuse to play by the rules.

Toronto's first consistent vogue night run entirely by the performers themselves — monthly gatherings where the art form takes center stage without compromise. This is vogue on the community's terms, at a venue that gets it.

A Friday night out that does both things right — drag performance and a proper meal in the same room. O'Grady's has been hosting this for years, and it's the kind of event where you actually want to linger over dinner before the show starts. Good food, good drinks, and a performer who knows how to work a room.
