TUESDAYS
The Queer Agenda
Since arriving its inception, in February 2018, The Queer Agenda has been generating buzz within the drag world and throughout the community. Expect monster, ghoulish, villain and sci-fi drag themes that push the envelope and celebrate all forms of creative expression (think: The Boulet Brothers' reality show "Dragula," as opposed to "RuPaul's Drag Race").
Showtime: 9:30 p.m.

WEDNESDAYS
Viva La Vargas
Join Fernanda Vargas-West and special guests each Wednesday for Viva La Vargas at Karamba Nightclub. That said, prepare yourselves, because a drag show here inevitably leads to a night that will engage all your senses – the lights, ambiance, entertainment and "mucho baile." Not bad, for a Wednesday.
