What to know before you go
- Book a seat at Kobalt. Kobalt sells tables and seats for each show on Ticketleap, with general admission from $5 for some shows and a two-drink minimum.
- Check the age rule. Kobalt, Charlie's and Stacy's are 21+. Diva Royale's Phoenix shows are 18+.
- Some nights are cheap or free. Charlie's Blackout Bingo is free to play, and Stacy's Tuesday talent competition has a $3 cover.
Pro Tip
On a Friday, see Starstruck at Stacy's on North 7th Avenue from 8 PM to 10 PM, then head to Kobalt on North Central Avenue for the 4Some Revue, which starts at 10 PM, so expect to walk in just after showtime. On a Saturday, Kobalt's Follies runs from 7 PM to 9 PM. Charlie's Saturday Stars Drag Show is billed for 9 PM, but Charlie's October calendar had a themed party every Saturday instead, so check its monthly calendar first.
