STRUT is galloping into Austin with a night so wild your ex, your therapist, and your meemaw might all show up. We’re taking over Cheer Up Charlie’s with queen of queens Sasha Colby (Season 15, baby), a rowdy mix of local legends, DJs, pop-up shops, and one badass nonprofit partner.
Born in NYC but raised across the country in 10 cities, STRUT ain’t just a party—it’s a queer rodeo of maximalist joy, high-femme chaos, and drag that kicks harder than a mule in July. Whether you’re twirling, screaming, or fully dissolving into the delulu of it all—this is where you show up, show out and stay seen.
