I made it to the RuPaul’s Drag Race Hater’s Roast, which was at the Warner Theatre near Chinatown. Although I am used to seeing one-off Drag Race contestants at the bar, this is my first real Drag Race touring event.
The Hater’s Roast was hilarious, although there were an uncomfortable number of HIV and Holocaust jokes, (and at least a few Sahara Davenport digs). I was actually clutching my pearls during Mimi Imfurst’s set. I also was thrilled to see Miz Cracker, who looks as amazing in person as she does on TV.
Manila looked good, and Thorgy had her signature Muppet hair.
My last-minute ticket happened to be in the third row of the theater, so I got to make awkward eye contact with the performers. Maybe procrastination isn’t always such a bad thing…

Getting back into special events.
I rarely go to concerts and formal LGBT events because of the planning involved, but I think I will have to be more of a planner because the Hater’s Roast was a great experience. The drinks at the Warner theater were definitely more expensive than your typical gay bar fare, but the overall cost of going out was comparable to a normal weekend night. Maybe I am turning into a Yom Kippur queen. (We’ll see!)
The full cast for the Washington D.C. Hater’s Roast was: Darienne Lake, Manila Luzon, Latrice Royale, Mimi Imfurst, Thorgy Thor, Lady Bunny, and Miz Cracker.
