ABOUT THE SHOW

We all start somewhere. 

Picture it...Somerset, NJ, 2013. Rhedd is performing at Den Nightclub to a Sasha Allen cover of Carrie Underwood's "Before He Cheats". By the entrance of the club, a woman innocently (yet rudely) is against the wall not watching the show when Rhedd mistakenly kicks her heel with much force, flying through the air and smacking the wall next to the aloof patron. Evidence that when Rhedd performs, all eyes should be on her (partially for your safety).

For Emoji it was in April 2015 at Higher Ground for First Fridays. She painted her entire face gold, sewed her own outfit (she doesn't sew), and performed some mediocre, stiff choreography to "Get On Your Knees" by Nicki Minaj and Ariana Grande. So much has changed (except maybe those choreo skills). 

Imagine getting to witness that freshness?! And watching the stars rise and being able to say, "Ohhh my gosh! I saw them when they were just a wittow baby drag at Vermont Comedy Club!"

Bring a wad of dollar bills and your loudest cheers and be one of the first people to see the next batch of local drag talent perform at this showcase of new talent. Plus, we've got special performances by your hosts and local pro performers Sasha Sriracha and Carmen Gettit.
