About this Event
The Gotham Knights Drag Show is back, baby, and we're bringing more glitter, glamour, and rugby boys than ever before.
One of NYC's most iconic rugby traditions, this year we are coming to you with a show for the generations!! Our Gotham girls are trading their cleats for pumps, their jerseys for sequins, and the rugby pitch for the stage. It's a night of outrageous performances, legendary queens, and a whole lot of Gotham magic (to make sure we do our 25th Anniversery RIGHT!)
This year, the one and only Brandy Manhattan makes her legendary return to the Gotham stage to open the show, joining our fabulous cast of rugby players turned drag royalty for a night you won't want to miss. Our Boy Band and All Starts will be hitting the stage, as well as THEE boomerang queen herself, Chelsea Cloisters, who can't stay away no matter how spells we cast to keep her away! Chelseas got her own spell up her sleeve, get seated to see what she pulls out of her hat next!
But behind the wigs, lashes, and questionable beats, is a mission that matters. Every dollar raised supports the Gotham Knights RFC, helping us secure field time, purchase gear, and send our players to competitions like NorAm 2027, while continuing to build an inclusive home for LGBTQ+ athletes.
This year marks Gotham Knights RFC 25th Anniversery (You read that right, 25 years of serving on AND off the pitch) and this year The Dragoon Council has made it their goal to raise $25K in honor of 25 Years of being THEE Gotham Knights. If you would like to help us reach our goal, Check out our NEW! GiveButter: https://givebutter.com/gotham-drag-show-2026-frtku1
Come for the queens. Stay for the rugby boys. Leave knowing you supported something fabulous. ❤️
Time: Doors open at 7pm
