Who is Sharon Needles?! Girl, don’t you watch RuPaul’s Drag Race? Sharon was the campy, Marilyn Manson–esque contestant who took season four—the one Lady Gaga hyped by tweeting her approval during shows. SHE’S SICKENING (drag-speak for “excellently fierce”). Tonight’s Hey Tranny It’s Tranny show will be Needles’s only Seattle appearance during Pride, sharing a stage with Hi-Fashion, SSION, Alaska Thunderfuck, JD Samson, and local performers Ben Delacreme and Jinkx Monsoon. The whole thing is a fundraiser for Gay City Health Project, for added realness. (Neumos, 925 Pike St, www.neumos.com, 8 pm, $32–$60, 21+)
