Queer Mania is the newest LGBTQ+ night to arrive on the Dublin scene.
Organised by Jack O'Connor and drag artist Celtic Tigress, the event promises to showcase the best in queer talent when it takes place at Drop Dead Twice on Francis Street on March 29.
Incorporating music, comedy and fierce drag performances, the lineup for Queer Mania includes a laugh out loud set from comedian Aoife O'Connor, singer AIS, dance musician Viscose and epic drag talent such as Nikkie Stones, Éire Comme and Viper.
Speaking to Dublin Live about how the upcoming show came to be, Jack said: "I helped Nara Hope out with the I'm Baby night which was a drag night for up and coming drag performers.
"I thought after that I'd take the bull by the horns and do something myself."
Giving us a taste of what we might expect when heading along to Queer Mania, Jack praised the talented lineup.
He revealed: "There are loads of drag nights but there hasn't really been anything that showcased more than that, like non-drag talent as well.
"It's whatever people want to do essentially. For the first show we have four drag artists and four non-drag performers. It's a mix of singers, comedy, dance.
"We're trying to reach out to as many people as we can to try get a variety of talent. For the next show, we're trying to get a burlesque dancer."
Jack went on to explain that the reaction to the event's announcement online has be "really good", something he hopes translates into ticket sales.
Tickets for Queer Mania at Drop Dead Twice on March 29 cost €14.20 and are available via the show's Eventbrite page.
