Shakespeare’s Hamlet has been invited to the backyard barbeque! Get your plate ready for a slab of smokin’ hot revenge, served with a hefty scoop of vengeance, and a side of karaoke. Without spilling too much of the sweet tea, a visit from beyond the grave reveals family secrets and scandalous generational trauma. How will “Juicy,” a queer Southern Black mama’s boy, reconcile the truth in service of his own liberation? This Pulitzer Prize-winning play is a delicious, outrageously, heaping hot mess of hilarity!

Broadway’s Kevin Smith Kirkwood returns to Joe’s Pub to celebrate Pride in New York City with his newest solo show and live recording of KSK on the BQE: A Black Queer Experience. The star of Kinky Boots and the critically acclaimed solo show, Classic Whitney: Alive! steps out from underneath the wig and the gowns to present an intimate evening of tunes by Black queer artists from the Harlem Renaissance to now. Black queer musicians throughout history have given the world bold, rich music that expresses the intersectionality of their Blackness and Queerness. Hop on this sassy, sexy, cool ride with pit stops through Jazz, Funk, Rock, Hip Hop, and R&B genres. With a set list featuring music from Ma Rainey, Bessie Smith, Billie Holiday, Little Richard, Lil Nas X, Janelle Monae, Frank Ocean, Prince, Sylvester, and more, Kirkwood celebrates those artists whose shoulders he stands on as a Black Queer person today.
