Sugar Rush

Sugar Rush is a high-voltage, high-drama, high-glam Queer variety show dripping in sapphic seduction, campy romance, and the most deliciously over-the-top displays of affection. Bathed in saturated reds and pinks, this show is kind of, but not quite, a dating show—where the contestants are the performers, and love is the prize… or is it?

Expect glittering burlesque, powerhouse drag, sultry serenades, and jaw-dropping circus acts - all wrapped up in a sticky-sweet spectacle of passion, playfulness, and Queer desire. Whether you’re looking for love or just here to watch the chaos unfold, we will be serving up an evening of decadent delights, cheeky flirtation, and a celebration of sapphic love in all its gaudy glory.

Will sparks fly? Will hearts break? Will we all just drown in a sea of pink satin and glitter? Come for the romance, stay for the camp, and leave with U-Haul keys in hand.

Enjoy being in community while you witness jaw-dropping displays of drag, burlesque, shibari, and circus.

Costumes and on-theme ‘fits are highly encouraged and celebrated!
