This place is for the cool kids. It’s rebellious and offers an alternative to your typical old school drag acts. Everyone here loves to feel like a star, whether that be through performing or pulling drinks. The sheer brilliance of having bar staff up in drag shows that this places’ love runs deeply for the artistic practice. How’s that for creative originality? Since the Glory is owned by drag phenomenons Jonny Woo and John Sizzle, you really are financially supporting the drag community by going. More income means more drinks, and therefore, a complete drag scenery; kings and queens love their booze! Standing amidst a crowd of fellow drag enthusiasts, you feel that something dreamy could happen at any given moment. And believe us when we tell you that expectations turn into fireworks: the drag personas don’t bite their tongue when interacting with you. What’s especially impressive about The Glory is that they offer aspiring drag artists the opportunity to perform at different events throughout the year to get their name out in the community. The most common competition is “LIPSYNC1000′. Hundreds of drag queens battle it out in this competition to be crowned a winner in front of agencies. As a supporter, you can also change someone’s life by voting.
