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
