Read My Lips: A Drag Tournament
June 21st at 7:30 pm
Hosted by RuPaul’s Drag Race Season 17 contestant Kori King
The Huntington Theatre
Boston’s newest drag competition!
Cheer the house down boots for your favorite performer while they battle it out in a lip sync tournament.
Each drag performer will show off their most sickening lip sync number and YOUR votes will determine the top two Read My Lips contestants. The top two performers will go head to head in an epic lip sync battle for the crown!
RuPaul’s Drag Race Season 17 contestant and legendary Boston drag queen, Kori King will host and judge the final round, crowning the winner of the inaugural Read My Lips drag tournament! After we crown the winner, join us for a dragalicious after party in the Maso studio to celebrate (food provided).
The Read My Lips contestants will be announced in April!
