Drag Show Etiquette

Performance Space

DON’T walk where someone is performing. The performance space (stage) is defined. If you’re standing in it, someone will let you know. The audience is here to watch the queens perform, not you (no matter how cute you are). Unless the performer comes up to you and invites you onstage to use in their act, do NOT go up on stage. It's not about you!

Don't Be A Mess

Have fun, relax, let your wig down, but be safe and don’t get sloppy!

Cheer & Tip!

You’re enjoying the show, so show it! Cheer, clap, stomp your feet. Be enthusiastic, and play along. If a queen says jump, jump! And don’t boo. Unless the person with the microphone tells you to. Many local shows feature new performers who put many hours and hard earned money into rehearsing and creating their look. Drag does take nerve, $o $how $ome $upport! If you’re standing or sitting front-row at a drag show, you should be prepared to tip. The best policy is to just hand the performer your tips with your arm outstretched, or toss the money onstage if they’re busy. It’s OK to have fun, but don’t disrupt the show, and don’t get handsy. And if a queen wants you to put a tip in her bra, she’ll let you know. Queens are many things but subtle is not one of them.

Hands OFF

Do not initiate physical contact with a performer. Don’t initiate non-consensual physical contact with anyone, for that matter. That goes for other audience members! Drag performers put hours into their makeup, hair and outfits so please don’t grab or touch! If a performer leans in for a hug or a cheek kiss, be mindful, and keep it an air-kiss. You might see a performer showing some members of the audience some extra love. They’re probably friends. Don’t assume you’re entitled to the same level of affection after a three-second tip interaction.

Leave Your Assumptions Out of It

Are many drag queens cis gay men? Yes. Are all drag performers cis gay men? Not by a long shot. Many drag entertainers are trans men and women, and many are cis women! Nonbinary or genderqueer folx also play with drag to subvert gender! Never assume, don’t ask if a queen or king is “a real girl” or “a real dude”. What all drag performers have in common is that they are people challenging, subverting and dismantling traditional ideas of gender by performing heightened versions of masculinity, femininity, and everything in between!
