With the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, many of your favorite entertainers and drag queens, who you would normally see performing at bars and clubs all over the city, have been forced to cancel their shows. Luckily, Digital Pridefest, founded at the onset of the pandemic to accommodate virtual LGBTQ Pride celebrations, has gathered some of the best talent from all over the country to continue to celebrate your community intimate live streams.
With a gorgeously curated list of the best performers, entertainers, and drag queens from across the country and the world, Digital Pridefest continues the Pride celebration online. Each performance promises a high production value, so you will be just as entertained as if you were live at the shows.
The concept is simple: you buy your ticket for a show, which streams at a specific time just as you would if they were in-person – now, you’re just not in the same room, which is still the safest thing to do. You can even tip the entertainers with pre-purchased ‘sequins,’ and if your friend Anita Ticket needs a ticket (we all know her!), you can even pay it forward, so that those who can’t afford it can get a ticket at no cost to them.
The list of entertainers is impressive, including Miss Cracker, Manila Luzon, Latrice Royale, Trinity the Tuck, and Ginger Minj, to name just a few of the American queens, we know and love from RuPaul’s Drag Race. But the list doesn’t stop at the American border; comedienne, chanteuse, and fervent ally, Deven Green, (who is also a contributor to Peach Media’s GOLIATH Magazine) performs songs from the UK and Canada with Handsome Ned (July 11), and UK Drag Race queens Cheryl Hole (July 17) and Divina De Campo (July 11 + 25) are each part of July’s fierce lineup of international-class entertainment.
Please tune in to Digital Pridefest today, check out some of your favorite performers, and let those sequins rain down over them!
