Joey Arias Eventbrite.jpeg

     Step into a world of velvet glamour, razor-sharp wit, and hypnotic vocals as the legendary Joey Arias takes the stage for a one-night-only cabaret performance. Known for their mesmerizing voice, outrageous charm, and timeless stage presence, Arias brings a genre-defying evening of jazz standards, twisted torch songs, and deliciously risqué storytelling.

     From Billie Holiday-inspired ballads to downtown debauchery, expect a night where old-school cabaret meets avant-garde drag — seductive, soulful, and utterly unforgettable. Whether you're a longtime fan or new to the magic, this is a rare chance to witness an icon in their element: raw, real, and radiant.
