Mother Birdie did a mug print on a makeup wipe, so I did a mug print on a makeup wipe… it was awesome ☀️🌈

tickets here support local performers!

Planning to do before and after pics for every show 😍

I produced and hosted a Drag Bingo for the first time last night!
When I was preparing for the show I struggled to find posts with tips for first timers, so I thought this post would be a good way for us to share tips and tricks we’ve learned along the way. If you have tips please share them!! My takeaways from last night:

-Invest in a large barrel with big balls to draw. Mine was tiny and the tiny balls were a pain to draw and to read.
-If you think you have enough bingo dabbers, you don’t. Get more.
-We did NOT have enough tables. I wish I bought a pack of clipboards for folks to use.
-The “full house” game/round is too long for this setting, and folks struggled with rounds that weren’t basic bingo. People are tipsy and can’t hold their attention span long enough.
-I had a stage manager to keep everyone on track, calm & well. Keeping drag performers on time and set is like herding cats, this was WELL worth the cost.
-Decide on a pay structure with performers and crew ahead of time, and make sure everyone’s happy with it. Reach out, be proactive in asking people’s expectations.
-Have change available for people to swap out their larger bills.
-Have a cut-off date for folks to submit songs, starting positions & requests for the lineup.

I am so lucky that I had a great audience, a very supportive cast and crew, and a venue that took care of us. ❤️
