A virtual Quebec drag show is happening tonight, March 17, at 8 p.m. and you're not doing to want to miss it. What better way to spend two hours of your self-quarantine? Help support local artists during this difficult time! Visit MTLBlog for more headlines. At a time when precautionary measures require us to avoid going out, artists, local businesses and workers must find creative ways to continue to earn a living — even if they depend on audience participation. To do so, many have turned to the online world. And this is the case for the group of artists who are offering a virtual Quebec drag show tonight. That's right, if you've finished every season of RuPaul's Drag Race already, and you find yourself missing such form of entertainment — these drag queens are not going to let you down. And the best part is, they're going to keep our spirits up from the comfort of their own homes, too. In order to raise funds and make a little profit while the bars and clubs where they usually perform are closed, members of Quebec's drag community have organized a virtual performance for us — and all contributions are voluntary. So, it's from their homes that these queens will perform numbers for your entertainment. Talk about the proper way to practice social distancing! An Indiegogo account has been set up for this virtual show, and the profits will be divided among the participating drag queens. View this post on Instagram La Baga Barbie, en vente très bientôt!
