A Drag Queen Christmas

About This Event

Nina West hosts the self-proclaimed longest-running drag tour in America for its annual Riviera stop — a full holiday production built around RuPaul's Drag Race alums, not just a club night with tinsel taped to the walls. 18+, and a genuinely different Chicago holiday tradition than the tree-lighting circuit.

The tour — officially 'Murray & Peter Present A Drag Queen Christmas' — is old enough now to have its own anniversary tour: it hit its 10th year running in the mid-2020s, playing dozens of U.S. cities (and some in Canada) every holiday season. Nina West, a Drag Race alum herself, has hosted it every year since 2019. The show runs a full two hours with a proper intermission, not a quick club set — a real production built to fill a theater, not just a bar's back room.

Worth knowing: doors are 6:30 PM, show starts 8:00 PM, and it's 18+ — tickets start at $132, pricier than a typical club drag show given the production scale.
