A retro TV game show with a drag twist, hosted by Mars and Celia Light, featuring audience participation and prizes.
The Drag Queen Game Show is at The Highball Lounge every Tuesday night, with the next show on September 15. It's a game night that takes retro TV game shows and gives them a drag twist, hosted by comedy queens Mars and Celia Light, who call themselves the 'Steve Harveys of Drag.'
Each show runs about two hours and relies on audience participation, so you're not just watching from the sidelines. There are prizes up for grabs and a rotating lineup of games, meaning it changes a bit from week to week. Some of the ones that pop up are 'Right on the Money,' 'Florida or False,' 'Musical Bingo,' and 'Couples Therapy.'
The venue is part of the draw here. The Highball Lounge was once a real retro bowling alley, and it still feels that way—Vegas vibes and cozy red booths throughout. It's pitched as a good spot for bachelorette parties, birthdays, and date nights. If you're celebrating, you can bring a photo of the birthday person to be projected on the screen.
