Pride Month isn’t over yet, and while June certainly isn’t dragging along, we wanted to highlight some of Columbia’s drag scene before this month comes to an end. But even though the end of Pride Month may be near, the curtains aren’t closing on local drag shows anytime soon.
We’re diving in, so pull out your best makeup + favorite outfit — Columbia’s drag show is about to begin.

🌈 PT’s 1109, 1109 Assembly St.
With the longest running drag show in Columbia, PT’s 1109 knows how to put on the show. Drag shows are free and held each Tuesday at 9 p.m.
🌈 The Capital Club, 1002 Gervais St.
While The Capital Club is the longest standing private gay bar in South Carolina, new members and guests are welcome. Drag events are hosted each Friday and Saturday at 11 p.m.
🌈 Main Course, 1624 Main St.
Hosted by Paris Lefaris and DJ EZ, Main Course’s drag show, The Revue at 1626, takes place every Saturday night from 6-11 p.m. Dressing up is encouraged + there’s a $5 cover charge at the door.
🌈 Harriet Hancock LGBT Center
You don’t even have to leave the couch for this one. The Harriet Hancock LGBT Center hosts regular drag storytimes on their Facebook page.
In partnership with Scott Hall (owner of the former Bone-In BBQ), the Harriet Hancock Center is hosting We Are Family! The Bone-In Drag Brunch Reunion on July 11 at 701 Whaley. Tickets to the drag event start at $50.
