Nationals: Open Stage Drag Show

Every Monday night, National Mechanics opens the stage to Philly’s drag community. Nationals is an open-call drag show where newcomers, rising performers, seasoned queens, kings, and wild cards can get on stage, test new material, and compete in front of a live audience.

Hosted by Jenny Henny and Yari from Henn House, Nationals brings a different lineup every week, with performers competing for a $100 cash prize.

Come to watch, support local drag, discover new performers, or take your own shot at the stage.

Mondays at National Mechanics
Doors at 8 PM • Show around 9 PM
21+ • No Cover • $100 Prize

Performer sign-ups open Thursdays at noon through the Henn House Instagram.
