Ahoy, Chicago! Prepare to embark on a night of fantastical fundraising during C2E2 weekend at our thrilling drag event! Inspired by HBO Max's hit series 'Our Flag Means Death' our event unites a diverse array of performers driven by their deep passion for the show and their earnest desire to enact positive change.
With each stunning performance, they're helping to raise spirits and funds for the Lighthouse Foundation here in Chicago.
The Lighthouse Foundation of Chicagoland is a Black LGBTQ+ led, multiracial social justice organization that advances justice for Black LGBTQ+ people across Chicagoland through spirituality, arts programming, and workforce development initiatives. They support Black LGBTQ+ individuals in seizing power for themselves by creating spaces where they can connect with one another, build power, and help the community thrive. https://www.lightfoundchi.org/about
Our talented lineup will transport you to a world of wonder and excitement, all while supporting those in need in our community. Get your tickets now and be part of this magical evening where piracy meets philanthropy. Let's create a night to remember and make waves of positive change for the Lighthouse Foundation!

ABOUT THE PERFORMERS
Poison Ellie is an up and coming drag queen from the twin cities who represents the DIY fashion and heavy music of the Emo Goth and Punk subcultures in her performances. She made her debut last year with Our Drag Means Slay and since then his drag career has taken off. You can catch the motherfuckin princess in our show again this year. Get ready to rock out.
Hailing all the way from New Jersey for the second year in a row, Lizzy Leo is a life time performer, veteran cosplayer, avid tattoo collector (yes, she got several of Edward Teach's canon tattoos, she's that person), and all around nerd. She is the co-producer for the East Coast based nerdlesque troupe, The Scarlette Mafia, and she's so excited to be back and performing with this band of puppets.
Snake (she/ze/yes maam), muscle mommy and smut purveyor, arrives in Chicago this month for her debut burlesque performance (rehearsed on a church altar) and her fifth adolescence. Make some noise for this librarian in her kraken era!
Returning for the second time, with more audacity than ever! Chicago native and resident Spanish Jackie cosplayer. Last year she took to the stage for the 1st time and wowed the crowd, and this year she plans on doing it again. She may be smooth but this ride wont be, so hold on to something because SHES THE CAPTAIN NOW! Let us reintroduce to you in her hosting debut Shea Butta!
Polly Amour: The girl next door and so much more! Polly's burlesque style is geeky school girl meets amorous vixen. Polly sings, dances, hula hoops, and specializes in cosplay geeklesque. She's been a member of the burlesque community since 2010, working as a core member of Milwaukee's Brew City Bombshell Burlesque and even started her own geeklesque troupe "Dainty Rogue Productions," which puts on theatrical, scripted geek themed burlesque shows. She puts the slay in cosplay.
Sailing in from the Chicago suburbs, it's Stella Stunshine. A lover of horror burlesque, and nerdlesque, she enjoys bringing the unexpected to the stage. She's thrilled to make her Our Flag Means Slay debut with a love letter to her favorite angry first mate. Be sure to keep your Hands (and toes) inside the boat for this one.
After first trying drag in college and falling in love with it immediately, Lvrboy is more than excited to make their Our Drag Means Slay debut! Luvrboy hails from the Twin Cities and regularly sings and performs in theatre shows, but they've been aching to get back into drag and this seemed like the perfect vessel (pun intended) for that return. Enjoy the show!
A year ago Eli had an idea for a drag number and was crazy enough to spark an entire show! They're back for year 2 and can't wait to spread the love and queer joy for all Chicago OFMD fans!
