What better way to spend your Halloween than with people who wear costumes for a living?

Halloween’s placement on a Tuesday this year means all the best parties will be the previous weekend — but you can’t just spend the night at home fielding cheesy jokes from trick-or-treaters, can you?

If you don’t have kids to monitor and you’re too old to beg for candy yourself, you’re in that sweet spot for Ghouls Just Wanna Have Fun: A Halloween Drag Show. The one-night-only event happening this Tuesday, October 31, at City Winery (3730 Foundry Way, 314-678-5060) features some of the best drag artists in town, including but not limited to hosts Moxie Contin and Lucy Couture.

And it’s not just the queens strutting their stuff; you are also invited to take part in the costume contest.

Doors open at 6 p.m., with the show beginning at 7:30 p.m., so come early and partake of City Winery’s full menu and get to know your fellow drag fans before the festivities are in full swing.

Tickets are $15 at citywinery.com/stlouis.
