Politics with a Drag Queen
June 18 @ 7:00 pm – 10:00 pm MDT
Join Karla Marx & Fae Johnstone for a night of sickening drag and fierce calls to action.
Grab the Gays and Theys, the Femmes and Thems! We are going politicking and we are doing it in style!
Join Karla Marx (drag queen, stand-up comedian, and history prof???) and Fae Johnstone (national queer activist, trouble-maker, and political diva) for a night of sickening drag and fierce calls to action as we celebrate QUEER JOY with the community leaders who built this scene!
Let’s be real: we are under attack! The world is on fire. Your landlord is jacking rent, orange dictators are trying to end the world and all you want is some solid pizza after the gig. We’re tired of it! So what are we going to do about it? Oddly, the answer is…throw the best damn talent show this town has ever seen! SLAY.
We’ve got kickass talent AND movement leaders you don’t want to miss, including:
- Karla Marx
- Celine Dijon
- Felicia Bonée
- Stretcher Hartout
- Janis Irwin
- Brooks Arcand-Paul
Join us for an informative, hilarious, and heart-warming event with comedy, drag and calls to action from Karla, fiery takes and advocacy options with Fae and legendary performances by local drag artists.

| Event Listing & Graphics Disclaimer PrideEdmonton.ca is a free, unfunded, volunteer-run community listing platform. We do not generate revenue from our services and do not receive funding or grants from community or government sources. All events and accompanying graphics are submitted by independent organizers. Many organizers operate with little or no budget and may use a variety of tools—including AI-assisted design—to create their materials. PrideEdmonton.ca does not create, edit, review, or regulate submitted graphics, nor do we assess how they are produced. Our focus is on ensuring broad visibility of the many Pride events happening across the region. Showcasing this diversity of programming helps build awareness, strengthen community connection, and foster greater understanding and acceptance. Responsibility for all submitted content rests solely with the event organizers. |
