RIZ, SLAPPIN’ SOME DICKS
I feel deeply, deeply (okay, that’s too deep) that it is my solemn duty to grab your lapels and give you a good shake every month when Dickslap happens, because HOLY SEX is what. (The last time, Dan Savage gave me buckets full of dildos! If only I understood what they’re for…) Dickslap is the hottest, nakedest, Jell-O-shootinest thing to happen every 30 days, AND I LOVE IT LIKE A BROTHER. A sexy brother. Okay, let’s not go there. (Slippery slope!) This time features the magical spinnings of RIZ ROLLINS himself. The Seattle Eagle,
10 pm, $5, 21+.
HAIRSPRAY, THE ANNIVERSARY
Ten years ago, the most magical night of theater I’ve ever personally experienced (well, almost… top three, easy) happened at the 5th Avenue Theater. Then a porky gay Scientologist came along, crapped on it, and stank it all up FOREVER. (God damn you, Vinnie Barbarino!) It was Hairspray, the Musical, the world premiere, and tonight celebrates the anniversary of all that by taking us to a simpler, better, pre-Travolta age—Hairspray in Concert! Featuring the Seattle (Not Gay) Men’s Chorus and (wait for it…) Jinkx Monsoon herself as the evil, racist, high-haired tiger-mom Velma Von Tussle! Good morning, Baltimore. Fuck you, John Travolta. 5th Avenue Theater, 8 pm, $23–$73, all ages, June 20–23.
FAGTASTIC BOYLESQUE TIMES
You love Waxie Moon so much you can’t stand it, and we all know it damn good and well. (Don’t front!) Tonight, we get a big wet heaping helping of more, more, MORE of her, as “Fagtastic,” a brand-new thing, brings together serious burlesque and cabaret talent to shimmy, dance, strip, quip, and love you back—big-flaming-faggot-style. Presented by EmpeROAR Fabulous!!!, and featuring Paco Fish, Waxie, and more. Re-bar, 7:30 pm, $17 adv/$23 DOS, 21+.
