Details

Step right up, darlings—The House of Eclectics is turning Highland Lounge into a full-blown queer circus spectacular with “The First” showcase!

This isn’t your average drag show; it’s a sideshow-fantasy-meets-nightlife-extravaganza. Think lion tamers, kooky clowns, bearded ladies, strong men, and a whole menagerie of marvelous misfits bringing you over-the-top looks and deliciously dramatic performances.

Doors swing open at 6 PM, so you can roll in early, grab a drink, find your crew, and soak up the pre-show buzz. The real magic kicks off at 9 PM when “The First” drag show begins and the circus fully comes to life.

What to expect: Fierce drag, circus-themed shenanigans, and an unapologetically queer vibe from start to finish.
When: Friday, May 29th, 6 PM doors, 9 PM showtime.
Where: Highland Lounge in downtown Austin.
Vibe check: Campy, theatrical, high-energy, and gloriously extra.

The cast is stacked with local legends and eclectic powerhouses from The House of Eclectics:

Whether you’re there for the looks, the laughs, or the sheer spectacle, “The First” is your ticket to a fabulously freaky Friday night under the big top of Highland Lounge.
