Busy Bosco’s Grindhaus Returns May 1st and 2nd

April 20, 2026• byMichael Strangeways

Yes…it’s become a popular recurring event! Seattle drag superstar BOSCO made her mark as a major entertainer with her appearances on RuPaul’s Drag Race but she’s also a quite the showwoman by creating and producing her own shows including GRINDHAUS, the drag revue showcasing a host of drag talents both locally and nationally. Grindhaus returns May 1st and 2nd at The Crocodile, 2505 1st Avenue, Belltown/DT Seattle with further editions scheduled for later this year. You can snatch those tickets at her website: hereisbosco.com. You can also catch up on prior Grindhaus performances at GrindhausTV – a new series on Bosco’s YouTube channel! Check it out!

She’s also teaming up with Murray & Peter for her new solo show, “The Marvelous Miss Gender” which is touring nationally this summer with a stop in Portland, OR but oddly, not one in Seattle!

Here’s more on the next Grindhaus:

With the 7th edition of the PNW’s favorite drag show, this May’s category is GRINDHAUS 007: Bond girls, jewel heists, spy films, and 60s camp. Fall in love with another captivating, showstopping, double-feature installment as Bosco takes the stage joined by RuPaul’s Drag Race legends Naomi Smalls (RPDR S8, AS4) and Aja (RPDR S9, AS3, AS10), and Drag King royalty King Molasses (Winner of RevryTV’s King of Drag S1), plus a dynamite cast of Seattle stars. The Seattle hometown heroine, Bosco, presents two nights of electrifying stunts, explosive glamour, and high-octane thrills. The world is not enough, but Seattle is!

Merging the raw excitement and hilarity of classic drag revues, the glamour of burlesque and cabaret shows, and a bit of performance art for your nerves, GRINDHAUS is an unforgettable experience with host Bosco at the wheel.

Bosco says, “I’m so excited to bring Seattle the seventh installment of GRINDHAUS this May at our home venue, The Crocodile! GRINDHAUS is a star-studded, queer variety revue that combines the clout of global drag superstars with the talent of our local Seattle show stoppers. Thanks to The Crocodile, Grindhaus has found its home in a high-production, large concert venue that has truly allowed our show to thrive and grow.”

Bosco is a showgirl, producer, drag artist, and touring performer, best known as a star of the currently-airing RuPaul’s Drag Race All Stars 10, as well as a finalist of RuPaul’s Drag Race Season 14. Though based in Seattle, Bosco has toured the world from Europe, to Asia, to Australia, and beyond. From walking NYFW runway, to a residency on the Las Vegas Strip, to starring in her own Paramount-produced documentary, to writing and producing shows such as Grindhaus, Bosco continues to leave her mark on queer entertainment. She’ll embark on her first ever solo tour “The Marvelous Miss Gender” this July – August.
