Riley Cosgrove
The fine folks at Cheshire Cat Comedy have found a much better phrase to fit the tragically abused letters that make up the MAGA acronym. They are kicking off Pride Month with a showcase featuring stand-up by Riley Cosgrove, Izzy Salhani and Claire Sundbye; it’s hosted by Milwaukee drag performer Taysha Montenegro (crowned Miss Rigby 2023 in February), and a dance party with DJ Nick Nice follows.
media release: Kick off Pride Month with a hilarious stand-up comedy show hosted by Milwaukee drag star Taysha Montenegro! Plus: A headlining performance by Chicago’s Riley Cosgrove followed by a dance party DJed by Best of Madison winner Nick Nice.
