Maxwell and his cat Shadow

Hello, hello. My name is Maxwell (and the handsome fella with me is my boy Shadow) and I manage Drag Me To Chicago. I love drag and think everyone should experience the incredible drag Chicago has to offer. As I was looking for drag shows to attend, I thought it would be nice to have all the drag shows in the city in one location so I can see what is happening when. Since that website didn't exist, I decided to create it myself.

With this site, I want people to be able to quickly find an answer to their questions like:

“Where is the closest drag show to me tonight?”

“Who did we see last week again?”

“Can I go to drag bingo at a late-night bar hosted by an artist with a name that starts with A?”

(Yes, you can, by the way.)

Each time you see any event details on the site, it was personally reviewed by me so please let me know if any show details you see on the site need updating.

This is a labor of love that I hope uplifts the community. 10% of any revenue generated from the site will be donated to a queer-focused organization each month. If you have any questions about the site or would like to get involved, feel free to send an email to: Hello@DragMeToChicago.com

Use of Artificial Intelligence

As a data analyst by trade, I know how to build a mean Excel sheet, but I don't know how to code a website. So, to get the site up and running, I used Claude Code. Now my focus is maintaining the events on the site. To do that, I update an Excel spreadsheet several times a week by reviewing the Instagram and websites of Chicago drag artists and venues.

Affiliates and Sponsors

Event details provided in the list and map views on the site do not contain affiliate links. However, there may be sponsored advertisements between official events and advertisements on the side of the pages. These sponsored advertisements will be visually distinct from the default event details to provide an easy method to distinguish between a sponsored ad and an event that is normally on the site.

If you are the owner of an intellectual property displayed on this website (event poster or authored event description) and would like to have an event poster or description taken down, please send an email with the event details at:
