Sharp-tongued, hilarious actor and musician hits Chan National Queer Arts center on Sat/18 for a singing, dancing extravaganza.

San Francisco’s Chan National Queer Arts Center is kicking off its fabulous new season with two shows by outrageous comedian, actor, and musician Lea Delaria on Sat/18—and we’ve got a pair of tickets to the 8:30 spot to give away.

TO ENTER: Email marke@48hills.org with subject line “Lea Delaria” and the name of your favorite LGBTQ musical anthem in the body. Entries must be received by Thu/16 at midnight, winner will be informed on Fri/17. Good luck!*

More about the show and Lea:

With a multi-faceted career as a comedian, actor and jazz musician that began in San Francisco’s Mission District in 1982, Lea DeLaria holds the distinction of being the first openly gay comic on television in America, and earned a place in our hearts from her three-time SAG Award Winning role as Carrie “Big Boo” Black in the hit Netflix series Orange is the New Black. Now, the acclaimed jazz vocalist, Emmy Winner, and author of the infamous U-Haul joke takes aim at WTF is happening in the world today, bringing her Sicilian rage, sharp tongue, and musical prowess to the Chan National Queer Arts Center. In other words, it will be an unforgettable evening of song and dance.

*Contest entrants’ contacts will be shared with Chan Center
