Derry Queen

Cheshire Cat Comedy presents “Make America Gay Again,” a glitter-drenched recurring showcase of queer joy mashing up music, drag and razor-sharp comedy. Hosted by Chicago drag queen and stand-up dynamo Derry Queen, the lineup also features some of the Midwest’s funniest and fiercest performers: Manny Petty, Shawn Banks, Vanessa Tortolano and Sasha Rosser. Expect enough sequins to qualify as a fire hazard.
