Picture a Southern beauty pageant reimagined by queer comedians who grew up in red states, with stand-up, characters and drag all on one bill. Jay Jurden and Olivia Carter headline the lineup, and every dollar goes to If/When/How's Repro Legal Defense Fund, which supports people criminalized over pregnancy outcomes. If you want a holiday Monday laugh that also does some good, this is it.

What to expect

Littlefield is a Gowanus performance space with a bar up front and a stage room in back. Expect pageant framing, a quick-changing mix of stand-up sets, character bits and drag numbers, and a rowdy, supportive crowd.
