A free entertainment show mixing retro TV game shows with a drag twist, hosted by Celia Light and Mars.
The Drag Queen Game Show is at The Highball every Tuesday night, starting at 8 PM. It's a free show that runs about two hours, and it's open to anyone 21 and up. The whole thing is hosted by comedy queens Celia Light and Mars, who the venue bills as the "Steve Harvey of Drag."
The format takes a few retro TV game shows and gives them a draggy twist. The lineup rotates, so you'll see different games each week, but some of the regulars include Right on the Money, Florida or False, Musical Bingo, and Couples Therapy. It leans heavily on audience participation, and there are prizes involved, so you're more likely to be part of the show than just watching it from a booth.
The Highball Lounge is the show's Tuesday home, and it's a spot with its own history: it used to be a real retro bowling alley, and it still keeps that vibe with Vegas-style decor and 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. If you're celebrating a birthday, they'll acknowledge it on screen if you send a photo in advance.
