For two Thursdays this month (12th and 26th), drag divas Emogen Moore and Angel Lalamore will be hosting Drag Nights at Las Vegas Lounge in Mitchells Plain.
The event is open to all drag queens to perform and showcase their talent, and of course everyone is welcome to come watch and cheer them on.

The show starts at 8.30pm and DJ Alan will be on the decks to entertain in between sets. Maharaj will be the MC for the evening.
Organiser Emogen Moore says: “We’ve never had an event such as this in Mitchells Plain before.
“The variety of performers we boast in Cape Town is huge, so I know we are in for a fabulous show with this open platform for the drag queens.”
Las Vegas Lounge owner Celeste April adds: “I wanted to host the Dragnights for a while now, but keep putting it off.
“I want to create a platform for our gay community to showcase their talent.
