    Austin Gay Men’s Chorus Presents Shake the Rafters

    An early choral congratulations for having the taste to pick the gayest tunesters in Austin for your hearing pleasure. Bringing what they’ve called “a full-spectrum extravaganza of emotion, community, and vocal cords working overtime in the best way possible” – emojis removed to protect our Chron designers’ font sensibilities – the Austin Gay Men’s Chorus features modern songs from the likes of Harry Styles, Sam Smith, and the Beatles. (Look, at least two of them are alive so that counts as modern.) Snag your tix for Saturday or Sunday and get ready to watch those rafters, you know. Shake. – James Scott

    Ricky Sim: Coming Out to Dead People

    After performing his autobio comedy show to sold-out crowds in NYC, London, and “a secretive queer-safe space” in Kuala Lumpur, Ricky Sim swans down south to ATX. The show, written by Sim, digs into his experiences as an immigrant alongside his Chinese-Malaysian mother and what it meant to be gay, closeted, and Asian American in the Aughts. Hilarious and heartfelt, recipient of the PIT/Saturday Night Live Scholarship Sim performs his tale of grief, intersectional identity, and Sean Paul for two nights at ColdTowne, with direction by the Emmy-award winning Ryan Cunningham. – James Scott

    Strut! Austin: Sasha Colby Live

    If you haven’t heard tell about this show by now, we’ve got drastically different Instagram algorithms. But since I’m nice – and you’re a faithful Chronicle print-edition reader – I’ll fill ya in on this NYC-born but touring party, self-described as “a queer rodeo of maximalist joy, high-femme chaos, and drag that kicks harder than a mule in July.” That mule-kicking drag comes courtesy of local stars like Alexander the Great, Brigitte Bandit, Diamond Dior Davenport, and Jenna Talia, among many others, led by heart-stopping headliner Sasha Colby (Drag Race season 15). There’ll also be queer-owned pop-up shops, local legends behind the DJ booth, and a silent auction benefiting LGBTQ+ advocacy org Equality Texas. – James Scott
