Venue Details

About

A historic cabaret bar owned by the Vara Family. Originally founded in 1938, it hosts drag shows, comedy nights, open stages, cabaret events, and karaoke. It's a very popular spot for bachelorette parties on the weekends, and often hosts different events on both its main stage and downstairs in the basement (often referred to as Jacques Underground).

This bar is also known as the drag bar that Katya Zamolodchikova live upstairs from and got her start with events like Perestroika. It continues to foster Boston's established and up-and-coming drag talent to this day.

Starts in 5 hours

Wednesday, 7:00pm to 10:00pm

This Hallows Eve...Eve (the night before Halloween), come to the first GnAster production at the hxtorical Jacques Cabaret! Featuring 18 of Aster's favorite drag artists performing acts inspired by some of Aster's favorite things (and maybe even Aster itself), Haus of 1,000 Asters is wildly self indulgent and (hopefully) chaotic celebration of Boston Drag Thing, Aster R*sk (they/she/it), who will be marking 1 year of producing drag shows, & 12 years of continuous sobriety!
