Rochester, NY
Get ready for a no-holds-barred night of laughter, shade, and celebration as we honor Rochester’s own Darienne Lake with the ultimate Birthday Roast! Held at Photo City Music Hall in Rochester, NY, this side-splitting event will feature a star-studded lineup of queens who know Darienne best—and aren’t afraid to spill the tea! Brace yourself for hilarious insults, outrageous stories, and unforgettable performances from Darienne's RuPaul's Drag Race sisters Mrs. Kasha Davis, Jiggly Caliente and Pandora Boxx, along with Rochester royalty and decades-old friends Aggy Dune, and Kyla Minx. These drag legends are ready to dish out the most savage (but loving) reads in honor of the queen of shade herself.
But the night doesn’t end with just the roast! Stick around after for a drag show extravaganza, with each queen taking the stage to honor Darienne in spectacular fashion. And to top it all off, the birthday girl herself, Darienne Lake, will close out the show with a special performance that’s sure to leave you gagging!
Then, stick around for dancing and drinks until 2AM!
