Finding a drag show shouldn't be a scavenger hunt.
You searched “drag shows near me” and got a Facebook event from 2019, an Instagram page that hasn't posted since Pride, and a listing for a gay bar that closed two years ago. Sound familiar? Here's what finding a night out actually looks like right now:
Gone in 24 hours
Tonight's lineup was announced in an Instagram story. It vanished before you ever saw it.
Twenty tabs deep
Every venue, performer, and promoter posts somewhere different. There is no one place to look.
Who even was that?
You saw an incredible queen on Saturday night and have absolutely no way to find her again.
Tonight? Tomorrow? Sold out?
Showtimes, cover charges, and door details are scattered to the wind — or simply don't exist online.
“We drove forty minutes to a gay bar for a drag brunch that had been cancelled weeks earlier. Nobody told the internet.”
One directory for all of it.
Qistrict is a searchable directory of drag shows, drag performers, and LGBTQ+ bars and venues. Search your city or hit “near me” and see what's on tonight, who's on stage, what it costs at the door, and whether the space actually works for you — before you leave the house.
Find drag shows near you
Every show, brunch, and pageant in one feed — by city, date, or right around the corner.
Discover performers
Real performer profiles with styles, upcoming gigs, and socials — so Saturday's queen is never a mystery again.
Explore LGBTQ+ venues
Gay bars and queer-friendly spaces with photos, cover charges, accessibility info, and what's on this week.
Not just a directory. The whole scene, connected.
Qistrict is being built as the platform the scene runs on — for the people on stage, the spaces that host them, and the fans who show up.
Bookings, without the DMs
Performers book venues and venues book performers directly on Qistrict — requests, packages, and schedules in one place.
Tip your queen
Show love from your seat. Digital tipping puts money straight into performers' hands — no cash required.
Never miss a show
Follow your favorite performers and venues, save events to your itinerary, and get notified when they're on near you.
Fans, meet the scene
Hype the shows you love, review venues, and connect with the community that makes the night worth going out for.
Built for the whole room.
Fans
Find drag shows and gay bars near you, see who's performing tonight, follow your favorites, and plan the night out in minutes — not twenty tabs.
Performers
Get discovered. A profile that works as hard as you do: your gigs, your media, your bookings — plus tips from fans who finally know your name.
Venues
Fill the room. List your space, promote your shows, and book the performers your crowd actually wants to see — all from one dashboard.
Everyone's welcome. Everything's checked.
Qistrict is for the whole community — every letter, every identity, every body, every fan. And because trust matters in queer spaces, every venue and performer on Qistrict is reviewed, vetted, and approved by a real human before they ever appear in the directory. No ghost listings, no closed bars, no catfish profiles — just a scene you can count on.
Human-approved listings
Every performer profile and venue is reviewed and approved by our team before it goes live.
Accessibility up front
Venue pages surface accessibility info before you go — because a night out should work for everybody.
Inclusive by default
Queer-owned and community-first. If you love drag, you belong here — performer, venue, or fan.
