Still, many of the ¡REVANCHA! kings mention how much harder it is for them to get booked than some of their queen counterparts, and how much less they will likely be paid. The result is a show that is exuberant, subversive, communal, and expansive - imparting that there is no right way to perform, to have a body, or to commune with a crowd. They often create their own outfits from scratch or thrift things, refashioning the products of a consumer society that doesn’t necessarily fit all or even most bodies into something that works for the maker. At ¡REVANCHA!, drag artists play with gender in a way that showcases masculinity, femininity, and the very queering of gender itself. On the national drag scene, the spotlight is often on queens performing a high-femme version - impeccable hair and makeup, high couture, and higher stilettos. The bar is also the basis for Dana’s bar on The L Word: Generation Q and a fitting home for other queer events, including monthly party Dana’s Night. Among dozens of regular shows is the monthly “¡REVANCHA! a MAD drag king show” at Semi-Tropic, a bar in Los Angeles’s Echo Park neighborhood.
Menu Highlights: Roasted beet hummus with jalapeños, garlic, and tahini patatas bravas with a chipotle garlic aioli and Daddy’s Ruin, made with mezcal, rye, vermouth, Bénédictine, chocolate, and grapefruitĪs drag shows and brunches come under attack throughout the country, the LA scene thrives.
