Straight Out of the Closet is a cabaret comedy created and performed by drag artists Gina Tonic and Trash Ketchum, presented as part of Dixon Place's Hot Festival. Blending live vocals, original comedy sketches, and storytelling, the show follows two drag queens on a mission to bridge divides and prove they have more in common with mainstream America than anyone might think. Through humor and song, Gina Tonic and Trash Ketchum explore the tension between authenticity and acceptance, asking what artists sacrifice when they reshape themselves to fit the expectations of others.
