Working Families Party’s The Politics House returns to WNBA All-Star weekend with an All-Star Drag Comedy Brunch on July 19th from 11am-2pm at VisionLoft.
The free event will feature complimentary farm-to-table breakfast buffet; a meet and greet and performances by Lana Ja’Rae from last season of RuPaul’s Drag Race; and comedy by Kristin Key (Last Comic Standing, Dry Bar Comedy) and Tatyana Guchi (The Daily Cannon Show). Erin Foley of women’s sports podcast Her Lights will host the event, which will also include a WNBA fan social hour, fine art portraits of some of WNBA’s biggest stars, and merchandise giveaways.
The event builds on the WNBA’s legacy of progressive politics and labor organizing, including its 1998 establishment of the first professional union for female athletes in the U.S. WNBA players have advocated for voting rights, reproductive rights, LGBTQ+ rights, police reform, and even made a substantial impact on Senator Raphael Warnock’s election in Georgia, when he ran against the then Atlanta Dream owner Kelly Loeffler. Comedy events have also long been a staple of men’s NBA All-Star, so Politics House is bringing the laughs to women’s All-Star weekend with celebration of queer and femme comedians, artists, and entertainers.
