Branded Saloon’s weekly drag dinner show “SHE ATE!” offers high-energy performances, comedy and stunts every Friday night. Created by the team behind Brag Drunch, the free event pairs a full dinner and cocktail menu with a rotating lineup of Brooklyn drag artists, all hosted by the Reigning Ms. Barracuda, Giardia The Parasite. A $25 dinner special — including a drink, entrée and side — is available for guests looking to settle in before the 8 p.m. show.
Seating begins at 7:30 p.m., with performers mingling in the crowd as diners place orders, grab singles for tipping and get into the spirit of the night. Once the show starts (“ATE p.m.”, as the hosts call it), audiences can expect stunts, dancing, prizes and plenty of surprises before the evening wraps by 10 p.m., leaving time to continue the night or head home. Reservations for groups of six or more are encouraged, and special celebrations can be accommodated upon request.
“Drag show and plenty of laughs with some of NYC’s best performers. Comedy, drag numbers, delicious food and drink, and a lot of fun! Interactive games with the audience, and special celebrations for bachelorettes, birthdays and special occasions. An overall fun, uplifting dinner event that celebrates everyone, perfect to end the work week or a pregame for a night out!” — amNY
“Coming off strong out of two drag competitions, this drag scientist is infecting us with a fever of fabulousness, care of some new weekly and monthly shows… Giardia the Parasite! … ‘Giardia is very versatile, aesthetically speaking–she can give you colors, camp and glamour. But overall, I love a good, delicate, 60’s housewife look. In terms of performance, I mainly do comedy mixes that tell a cohesive story.’” — Thotyssey
