Event Details

An Experimental Drag Cabaret. Buckle up for a wild night as performers from the queer non-profit Oaklash take over the Chan for an immersive cabaret experience that combines live music with alternative and experimental drag performance. Oaklash co-founder and DJ Mama Celeste emcees as a cast of queer and trans performers, including drag artist and violist Obsidienne Obsurd and cellist Peekaboo Salinas, shock and delight you from locations around the room. With spontaneous dance breaks and a spectacular drag finale, you’ll be energized by the kind of boundary-pushing queer evening that speaks to the unique sensibility of Oakland and the East Bay.
