About this Event

Grab the Gays and Theys, the Femmes and Thems! We are going politicking and we are doing it in style!

Join Karla Marx (drag queen, stand-up comedian, and history prof???) and Fae Johnstone (national queer activist, trouble-maker, and political diva) for a night of sickening drag and fierce calls to action as we celebrate QUEER JOY with the community leaders who built this scene!

Let’s be real: we are under attack! The world is on fire. Your landlord is jacking rent, orange dictators are trying to end the world and all you want is some solid pizza after the gig. We’re tired of it! So what are we going to do about it? Oddly, the answer is…throw the best damn talent show this town has ever seen! SLAY.

We've got kickass talent AND movement leaders you don't want to miss, including:

  • Karla Marx
  • Celine Dijon
  • Felicia Bonée
  • Stretcher Hartout
  • Janis Irwin
  • Brooks Arcand-Paul

Join us for an informative, hilarious, and heart-warming event with comedy, drag and calls to action from Karla, fiery takes and advocacy options with Fae and legendary performances by local drag artists.

Here’s the best part: This is a fundraising show to support TransAction Alberta.

This event is brought to you by TransAction Alberta, Fruitloop, Edmonton Pride Fest and Workshop West, with support from Fierte Canada Pride and Queer Momentum.
Doors at 7pm. Show from 8-10PM. Must be 18+.
