READINGS & TALKS
The Crocodile presents Andrea Gibson & Jinkx Monsoon
An evening of poetry and music, featuring spoken word artist Andrea Gibson (“The Jewelry Store,” “Yellowbird,” and “When the Bough Breaks”) alongside Jinkx Monsoon, whom Christopher Frizzelle calls “brain-explodingly brilliant.”

QUEER
RuPaul’s Drag Race Viewing Party with Robbie Turner
Drag queen Robbie Turner has been hosting Monday-night screenings of RuPaul’s Drag Race at R Place for some time, but now at last she’s on the show herself. Go cheer on our local gal every week — Robbie is smart and funny, and she has impeccable vintage style, so we’re thrilled to bits by the prospect of watching her onstage and on-screen at the same time. The only thing better than a show that features Robbie Turner is a show that features TWO Robbie Turners. MATT BAUME
