Drawn This Way: A Celebration of Animation Burlesque/Drag Show is where your favorite animated icons leap off the screen and onto the stage in a riot of color, glitter, and camp. This high-energy show brings together drag, burlesque, and the art of animation in a dazzling mash-up that celebrates the toons, villains, and heroes who shaped our imaginations. Each act reimagines beloved characters with a cheeky, sensual twist—transforming nostalgia into something deliciously grown-up and gloriously queer.
But the fun doesn’t stop at the stage! Drawn This Way invites the audience to become part of the action with lively interactive games and contests throughout the night. Guests can show off their creativity, quick wit, and flair for fun to win fabulous prizes, adding an extra layer of playfulness and participation to the show. Every round is a chance to shine, laugh, and connect with fellow fans in a space that celebrates joy and expression.
Equal parts spectacle and celebration, Drawn This Way is a love letter to the art of animation and the creativity of queer performance. Expect jaw-dropping costumes, side-splitting humor, and performances that turn your favorite animated memories on their head. It’s a night where fantasy and fabulousness collide, and everyone—on stage and off—gets to play, cheer, and maybe even take home a prize of their own.
The night kicks off at 9 PM with doors opening, and the show starts promptly at 9:30 PM at the Sexploratorium, located at 1800 S. Broadway.
Come dressed as your favorite animated character and have a chance to win a free class from the Sexploratorium!
