A retro TV game show remixed with a drag queen twist, hosted by Mars and Celia Light, featuring audience participation and prizes.
The Drag Queen Game Show is on every Tuesday night at The Highball, running from 8 PM to 10 PM. It's a two-hour show that takes retro TV game shows and gives them a drag twist, with resident queens Mars and Celia Light hosting. They call themselves the 'Steve Harveys of Drag,' and they run the whole thing with performances, games, prizes, and plenty of audience participation.
The games are the main draw. You'll see Right on the Money, Florida or False, Musical Bingo, and Couples Therapy—all played out in front of the room. It's a participatory night, so you aren't just watching from the sidelines; you'll be getting involved throughout the two hours. If you're celebrating a birthday, you can have it toasted on screen if you send a photo in advance.
The venue is The Highball Lounge, part of The Highball @Alamo Drafthouse at 1120 South Lamar Boulevard. The lounge was once a real retro bowling alley, and it still leans into that Vegas vibe with cozy red booths. Dinner is available from the full Alamo Drafthouse menu, so you can eat while you watch. The show is pitched as a good fit for bachelorette parties, birthdays, and date nights.
