Drag roasts may offer a platform for confrontation, barrier-breaking, and empowerment. At least that is what the queer-owned and operated Revry is attempting to do with 'The Drag Roast of Heklina' which is boldly described as "raucously hysterical, fabulously foul-mouthed, star-studded" special.
The show features a daring drag roast of some notable LGBTQ celebrities, including Alaska Thunderfuck, Jacke Beat, Bob the Drag Queen, Sister Roma, Peaches Christ and more. Clearly at the intersection of drag and comedy, the show is a testimony to sisterhood, friendship, and the entertaining capabilities of a vibrant community.
Revry's drag roast is directed and dedicated to one of San Francisco's well-known queens -- Heklina who has been active on the scene for over 20 years.
