    Oh he-he, haw-haw: We’re all in a laughing mood these days, aren’t we, folks? Where better to let out the big guffaws than this exclusively queer comic competition produced by the folks behind Austin’s only queer comedy open mic, Tongue in Cheek. This Thursday, witness 10 finalists – Kat Ellison Williams, Moe Christine, Freya Fredrichs, Ellie DeCaprio, Mattie Yapp, May Buzzetti, Andrew Horneman, Lina Green, and Jose Da’Hype – go head-to-head for the title of Cheekiest Comic.

    Queer Magic the Gathering Night

    Are you LGBTQ and a fan of Magic? Have you never picked up a card but your gay spirit yearns to build a deck? Do you reject the temptations of Yu-Gi-Oh! and its many big-haired idols? Then you may find yourself among friends at this weekly meetup of queer Magic: The Gathering players. Welcome are the dedicated, the lapsed, and the newbies these Thursday nights – even those sans cards can participate. Masks, however, are required, but they’ve got spares if you forget yours at home. – James Scott
    Thursdays, 7-10pm. Free but RSVP.

    Queertowne: Live

    Variety’s the spice of life, and queer people are spicy as hell – so this variety show from Austin podcast Queertowne promises flavors beyond your wildest imagination. Sprinkled with stand-up comedy from local comics Angelina Martin and Roxy Castillo, fans of the podcast as well as newcomers will enjoy segments like “Queertowne Quiz Time” and tunes from DJ Violeta. Standard fare from featured QT players Mase Kerwick, Javier Ungo, Charlie Blaine, and Kristen Washington stays tasty as always, so bring an appetite for entertainment. – James Scott

    Reneé Rapp Drag Tribute Show

    As a commenter on the Instagram post about this event said, I also “literally screamed out loud at this.” Singer-songwriter Reneé Rapp, only 24 years old, is a queer Gen Z icon who’s frank and outspoken about mental health and sexual identity, and is also having a bit of a moment following a star turn on Broadway as Regina George in the musical Mean Girls, which hit the big screen earlier this year. At a drag tribute hosted by Shitonya Face with tunes from DJ Turito, queens Brigitte Bandit, Ms Foxxy, Miss Steelya Girl, Lilith Azazel, Damiana Divine, and Moxie will honor the Snow Angel who’s stolen our hearts. – Kat McNevins

    Riot Fair

    I’ve analyzed the projections and looked at all the research: My conclusion is rock solid. Yes, I’ve concluded that this Thursday night on Fourth Street will be a riot … for Riot Fair, that is. Tear down the house with host Riot Girl, cast members Titty Androgynous & Venus Rising, and DJ Ruby Knight. Their drag spectacular will shock white streaks in your hair, spin your chair, and make you shout – as will the nice early start time of 8:30pm. Look, sometimes you need to riot responsibly on a school night! – James Scott
    Thursdays, 8pm. 18+, $10; 21+, free.

    Two-Spirit & LGBTQIA+ Networking Event

    Communication is key. How else can we know what folks need without talking to them? These conversations are all the more important when between minority populations such as LGBTQ and Two-Spirit adults. From Family Eldercare’s program Rainbow Connections, whose work supports Austin’s queer elders, this event will connect older Two-Spirit and LGBTQ folks to improve their future. – James Scott
