Drag shows are hardly a drag. If you’ve ever been to one, you know that they’re all over-the-top flamboyance, attitude and above all, raucous fun.

That’s certainly the case with Viva Las Divas.

The regular drag show at the Circa Speakeasy, 1818 3^rd St., Rock Island, returns with a gig Friday, Feb. 3, doors open at 7, you get your tickets at the door or by calling 786-7733, ext. 2, and if you’re looking for a colorful, sassy, bawdy, funny evening out, I suggest you check it out.

I went to the last Viva show, and have been to a few drag shows before. I have a couple of friends who do drag, and one thing they all have in common is big personalities and a desire to entertain. That’s definitely the case with Viva. The performers do a great job in becoming the personas they’re projecting on stage, with elaborate costumes, big stage moves and plenty of audience interaction.

The audience eats it up.

And it’s a nicely diverse audience as well. You’ve got people of all ages, races, genders and sexual orientations, from twentysomethings out for a fun night to people attending birthday and bachelorette parties to older fans just looking to kick back and enjoy an over-the-top spectacle.

And that’s what you’ll get with Viva. Give it a try, you’ll walk away with a smile.
