Akron Pride takes place Saturday August 26. In the meantime, it’s amping up the anticipation and raising some money with its 5th Annual Drag Battle, taking place at the Akron Civic Theatre.
While sourpuss politicians in Columbus are using drag artists as targets to fire up the ignorant, you can go and have a rip-roaringly entertaining evening, hosted by Brionna Brooks (Miss Columbus Gay Pride 2019) and Akron’s Monica Masters, with special guests Brooke Lynn Hytes, from RuPaul’s Drag Race and Canada’s Drag Race, and 2022 Drag Artist of the Year (among the many titles she’s snagged in the last several years) Natasshja Norielle. Other performers include Cherry Veneer, Poppy Lugo, Jeremiah and Denise Russell, with others still coming on board, competing for the title of 2023 Drag Artist of the Year, complete with a cash prize to help pay for the spectacular outfits, makeup and wigs these performers all sport.
