Also consider the age demographic of the show. A revealing outfit may not be appropriate for a drag reading at a library with children around, but it’s fair game for an 18+ show at a club or a bar.
Never tuck money into a queen’s clothing or approach her on-stage to hand her a tip. Meet her halfway if she can’t reach you, but respect her personal and performance space.
That said, read the room. Drag comes in many forms, and it’s probably not appropriate to cause a ruckus if a drag queen is reading poetry or giving a dramatic monologue. Follow the lead of the other audience members. In addition, don’t boo. If you’re displeased, hold it in and wait for after to talk smack to your friends. This is a space for positivity and hype, and a sour mood can kill the vibe.
