Did you know that each Monday the LGBTQ+ social group Boston Gaymers meet at Club Cafe for their weekly Queer Board Game Night?
The event has grown in popularity and seating is assigned based on tickets sold so if you are coming with a friend or group, it is recommended that you purchase tickets for your entire party rather than individually. This will help ensure you can sit together. Additionally, organizers recommend larger groups arrive 30 minutes early to ensure you can find seating together.
If you’d like to attend this week’s Queer Board Game Night on Monday, July 31, please RSVP (there is a $5 fee per reservation).
You can learn more about this social group by visiting their website, bostongaymers.com.
Paige Turner returns to Club Cafe with a new show for the third time in a year. Last February Sergio and I saw her show My Funny Valentine. Paige puts on an excellent show and is worth every penny IMO. This show, Tucking Myself In! features ridiculous parodies and songs that Paige sings live from HAIRSPRAY, TAYLOR SWIFT, MUPPETS, CARLY RAE JEPSEN.
Make plans with friends or for a fun date night and get your tickets before she sells out (because she ALWAYS sells out). Trust me when I tell you that by the time her show comes to Boston in late February you’re going to need / want a fun night out. Tickets start at $30 for her two shows on Friday, February 24 and Saturday, February 25.

Did you miss seeing SIX, the very popular Broadway musical touring the US when it came to Boston earlier this year?

Join Lurenzone Theatrics at Club Cafe in January when they bring their theatrical lip-syncing extravaganza and drag queens get to tell their side of the story. The cast includes performers from New England and beyond.
