July 17, 2025• byMichael Strangeways

Queer Bar is giving us reasons to not flee Seattle in August! They’re bringing in a powerful duo of entertainers to enliven a hot summer weekend…VANESSA VANJIE and AMANDA LEPORE! The partnership we never know we needed! They’ll be joining the cast of Queer Bar’s in-house cavalcade of performers in MX. on Saturday, August 2nd.

The iconic NYC queer cabaret star, Amanda LePore has been delighting audiences for decades with many appearances in the Puget Sound Metroplex while Miss Vaaaaaanjie became a global meme via RuPaul’s Drag Race Season 10 and her memorable exit from that season…VAAAAAAAAANJIE!!!!!!!

The two will buddy up for a fun show at Queer Bar the same weekend as Seattle’s annoying (to some, including me) Straight Pride Event aka “Seattle SeaFair” featuring our favorite eardrum breakers, the Blue Angels flight show. Also: this poster gives us LIFE! So well done! Snatch those tickets quickly! https://wl.eventim.us/event/Amanda-Lepore-Vanessa-Vanjie-LIVE-w-MX/657656?afflky=queerprideseattle
