The Moment: Queer Variety Show

The Moment is a queer variety show where we’re giving artists their moment to shine — because baby, everybody deserves one. Hosted by Nightshade the Glow and Elizabeth New Jersey, this show is all about celebrating queer excellence in all its forms — drag, dance, poetry, whatever your craft is, The Moment is your stage. 21+ with valid I.D.

With a curated lineup of fierce performers for a night that’s loud, unapologetic, and full of heart at Tattooed Mom. Featuring performances by Eye Du Kir, Jiji Jane, Kate Carey, Leila Delicious, Tan Hoang, and Giavacious — a lineup of incredible queer artists ready to step into The Moment. There’s a $5–$10 suggested donation for this event — every dollar goes directly to paying the hosts and performers. If you’re able to give a little more, we’d truly appreciate it. Supporting queer art means putting money in queer pockets, and we’re here to make sure our people get paid. But no one will be turned away for lack of funds at the door.

So come step into The Moment — laugh, gag, cry, tip heavy, and witness the magic. Whether you’re performing or just vibing, you’re part of it. Seating at The Moment will be available, but remember—it’s first come, first served, so make sure to get there early to snag the best spot! If you’re feeling extra fabulous and prefer to stand, we’ve got plenty of standing room for you. Whether you’re sitting pretty or vibing with the show, it’s going to be a night to remember!

Doors open at 6pm

Show starts at 7pm

The Moment is a space for joy, expression, and community. We have a zero-tolerance policy for hate, harassment, or discrimination of any kind. Everyone deserves to feel safe and celebrated—so bring love, respect, and good vibes, or don’t come at all!
