Queerdo Assassin
The first bracket of BC's newest drag competition hits the Lounge. The first half is authentic queer art: contestants perform numbers that show you exactly who they are as drag artists. The second half turns into a series of lip sync battles to Kylie Minogue's best of the 2000s.
Ginger Snapp, Star Cross, Cat Astrophe and Sapphic Lullaby are vying for the spot, and only one advances to the finals in March. Pick a favourite early — you'll be following them until spring.
Doors: 6:00 PM
Show: 9:00 PM
Tickets: $10 in advance (plus GST and ticketing fee) · $15 all-inclusive at the door

Ballet Kelowna presents Four Voices
Ballet Kelowna opens its 2026/27 season with Four Voices, a striking mixed program of established and emerging choreographic perspectives. On stage November 6 + 7, 2026, at the Kelowna Community Theatre, the compelling season opener will feature two audience favourites––Simone Orlando’s poignant Remembrance Day tribute, Acts of Remembrance, and Trey McIntyre’s delightfully dazzling, The Reassuring Effects (of Form and Poetry)––as well as the world premiere of two new works from Ballet Kelowna’s own Rehearsal Director Joanna Lige and Company Dancer Donaldo Nava, who both make their solo choreographic debuts. The 2026/27 season is presented by the Thomas Alan Budd Foundation. Tickets and information at balletkelowna.ca
Harmony Radio After Dark
One night, one radio dial, a century of songs.
White Sails A Cappella Chorus turns the Mary Irwin Theatre into a late-night radio studio on Friday, November 6th. The audience tunes in as the dial moves through the decades, with songs you'll still be singing in the car.
A live radio host at the mic, and a chorus that will fill the station airwaves will make for a one-of-a-kind event you and your friends won't want to miss. Arrive early or linger at intermission for the silent auction and grab your 50/50 tickets.
A portion of the proceeds goes to Central Okanagan Hospice Association.
