Underdogs Entertainment
Irreverent energy, intelligent entertainment
We organise drag brunches, happy hours, small spectacular moments, queer
cabarets… We’re inclusive without confronting DEI themes too directly. People can enjoy themselves, thanks to our ability to involve and entertain. And this can lead to further opportunities for reflection.
All our events can adapt to the spaces that host them (bars, restaurants, offices, clubs, etc.) and are suitable for all audiences. Their duration is variable based on necessity.
They are divided into three macro-categories:
- Events with direct audience participation
- Shows that involve everyone’s creativity
- Entertainment for small groups
For you and With you
QUEER NIGHT – Queer Night is the most irreverent night of entertainment you’ll find! One of our artists hosts performances, improvisations and on-stage challenges. The audience is the true main character.
QUIZ NIGHT –A trivia night where the audience faces off in customisable quizzes about any and all topics: from queer culture to history, from true crime to sport. Only one person will come our on top!
DRAG BRUNCH –Rise and shine… and glitter too! Our Drag Brunch offers site specific entertainment in venues where brunch typically takes place. Audiences can share a delicious meal, socialise and enjoy some tremendous drag performers.
DRAG HAPPY HOUR –A happy hour with drag entertainment and a dj set with the aim of introducing the bar’s crowd with the queer community. An over the top happy hour with an international flavour.
A space for creativity
CASA HANGAR – Casa Hangar is the open stage where artists of all extractions and styles can storm the scene and shine for their 15 minutes of glory. Drag, singers, performers and whoever wants to express themselves in a unique and
irreverent way are the true main characters of this show.
WHAT?! – A drag show that breaks the mould and holds space for the indefinable. Based on an experiment from The Shade, inspired by the underground New York scene, WHAT?! celebrates the weirdest, freakiest and most experimental drag. A stage for artists who live in the shadow of the underground, ready to shock, to provoke and to leave audiences with one question: “What did I just watch?”
DJ SET AVA – Ava is the DJ you didn’t know you needed. Her set is unpredictable: it goes from the greatest dancefloor hit to the most experimental and refined tracksm, filtered through a queer lens. Expect to dance to anything from Gigi d’Agostino to Robin, from SOPHIE to Albano and Romina, from Fred Again to Cosmo. You won’t even have time to understand where or even who you are!
PANTHEROKE – A karaoke night hosted by Panthera Virus
HAPPY FEW
POWERPOINT NIGHT – An evening where friends, colleagues or strangers face off
with… slides. Every participant has 5-10 minutes to present their slide on a surprise topic or a pre-established theme. Hosted by one of our drag performers, it can include anecdotes, comedic skits or surreal situations. The audience is invited to ask questions, make comments or judge the performance. Fun for all!
BAR CRAWL – A tour of Florence’s bars hosted by our very own Ava Hangar. We offer an experience filled with fun, humorous and, upon request, embarassing situations all around the city.
MEET A DRAG – A unique opportunity for the audience to meet our community’s drag artists. You can ask questions you wouldn’t usually dare to. We’ll answer sincerely and openly, to help you learn about the people behind the characters, their art, their stories and passions. We endeavour to create a safe, inclusive and respectful atmosphere, where everyone can feel welcomed and celebrated.
